Summary/Abstract: The Dardanelles Strait is one of the conflict fields during the Tripolitanian War that was started by Italy, in the context of Italian colonial policy, to seize Tripoli which was the last Ottoman possession in North Africa. For the possession of Tripoli, Italians attempted to force the Porte to peace table by attacking the Dardanelles Strait. However, Italian naval operation against the Dardanelles Strait has failed and thus Italian attempt to force the Porte to peace table by widening the conflict to the Strait ended in frustration. This article primarily focuses on political and military aspects of the Italian naval operation against the Dardanelles Straits on 18 April 1912. This article also studies how the interests of European Great Powers -that were in alliance system- with each other and the Porte have been reflected to the field of diplomacy as an effect of the operation.
