By mid-October the troops had made little progress and were starting to lose numbers quickly. The actual evacuation started in December 1915 and finished in January. Before the evacuation was allowed to happen, the troops attempted to make another push from a different area, Sulva Bay, Anzac Cove and Helles.

The surprise landings at Sulva Bay did work against them until delay and indecision stalled all of their forward progress and allowed the Ottoman reinforcements to arrive and get their defenses set on the shore.

Because of the troops lack of intelligence and knowledge of the land, along with the Turkish resistance, the invasion did not work and they started losing troops fast.
