Gallipoli with early tanks

A counterfactual asks whether earlier development could have put Mark I tanks into the Gallipoli campaign.

Notes

In this counterfactual, earlier enthusiasm from Churchill brings tank development forward enough to equip the British assault at Gallipoli. The imagined vehicle is a Mark I male tank. Gallipoli's terrain makes a major change in the campaign's outcome doubtful. The attraction of the scenario is an early amphibious armoured assault, while the terrain objection limits its likely military effect.
