Question: When did the European state that seized the country containing Al-Berka, from the empire against which the Gallipoli Campaign was fought, become an Ally in WWII?

The British declaration of war on Germany and its allies also committed the colonies and Dominions, which provided invaluable military, financial and material support. Over 2.5 million men served in the armies of the Dominions, as well as many thousands of volunteers from the Crown colonies. The countries continue to commemorate this occasion on Anzac Day. Canadians viewed the Battle of Vimy Ridge in a similar light. The contributions of Australian and New Zealand troops during the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign against the Ottoman Empire had a great impact on the national consciousness at home, and marked a watershed in the transition of Australia and New Zealand from colonies to nations in their own right. The important contribution of the Dominions to the war effort was recognised in 1917 by the British Prime Minister David Lloyd George when he invited each of the Dominion Prime Ministers to join an Imperial War Cabinet to co-ordinate imperial policy. <SEP> in 1915, australian and new zealand soldiers formed part of an allied expedition that set out to capture the gallipoli peninsula to open the way to the black sea for the allied navies. the objective was to capture constantinople, the capital of the ottoman empire, which was an ally of germany during the war. the anzac force landed at gallipoli on 25 april, meeting fierce resistance from the ottoman army commanded by mustafa kemal (later known as atatürk). what had been planned as a bold strike to knock the ottomans out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight months. at the end of 1915, the allied forces were evacuated after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. the allied deaths totalled over 56,000, including 8,709 from australia and 2,721 from new zealand. news of the landing at gallipoli made a profound impact on australians and new zealanders at home and 25 april quickly became the day on which they remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in the war. <SEP> As a result of this conflict, the Ottoman Turks ceded the provinces of Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica to Italy. These provinces together formed what became known as Libya. <SEP> turkey's application to accede to the european economic community, the predecessor of the european union (eu), was made on 14 april 1987. after the ten founding members, turkey was one of the first countries to become a member of the council of europe in 1949. the country was also an associate member of the western european union from 1992 to its end in 2011. turkey signed a customs union agreement with the eu in 1995 and was officially recognised as a candidate for full membership on 12 december 1999, at the helsinki summit of the european council. <SEP> Al-Berka (Arabic:البركة) is a Basic People's Congress administrative division of Benghazi, Libya. As of the 2011 Libyan revolution, the area is simply known as a district of Benghazi after the Gaddafi era Basic People's Congresses were disbanded. <SEP> In July 1943, following the Allied invasion of Sicily, Benito Mussolini was arrested by order of King Victor Emmanuel III, provoking a civil war. The participation of Italy in the Second World War was characterized by a complex framework of ideology, politics, and diplomacy, while its military actions were often heavily influenced by external factors. The imperial ambitions of the Fascist regime, which aspired to restore the Roman Empire in North Africa and the Mediterranean (the Mare Nostrum, or the Italian Empire), were partially met with the annexation of Albania and the Province of Ljubljana, and the occupation of British Somaliland and other territories, but ultimately collapsed after defeats in the East and North African campaigns. Italy surrendered to the Allies at the end of the Italian Campaign. The northern half of the country was occupied by Germans with the fascists help and made a collaborationist puppet state (with more than 600,000 soldiers), while the south was governed by monarchist and liberal forces, which fought for the Allied cause as the Italian Co-Belligerent Army (at its height numbering more than 50,000 men), helped by circa 350,000 partisans of disparate political ideologies that operated all over Italy.
