在这灾难性的第一次世界大战中,同盟军试图攻占加里波利半岛海峡,以开拓通往俄罗斯的航线。相反,结果带来的却是极其辛苦的长达八个月的静态战争,成千上万的盟军和奥斯曼军人在这场战争中牺牲了。让人瞠目结舌的是,同盟国伤亡率如此高仅仅是因为他们的手表时间没有同步。在次战役的一次行动中,盟军海军提前了整整七分钟就完成了炮击,这给土耳其足够的时间重整战壕。结果,派去进攻敌军的600名澳大利亚人,由于土耳其炮火的扫射,一半以上都壮烈牺牲或者受伤。最后,僵局和高伤亡率迫使同盟军退出战争,结果奥斯曼帝国取得巨大的胜利!谈及错误时间……
6 Incorrect Time Zones Doomed The Bay Of Pigs Invasion
6、错误的时区注定了猪湾事件(The Bay of Pigs Invasion)的失败
During the hugely disastrous Bay of Pigs campaign, Fidel Castro’s forces decisively defeated a sloppy invasion attempt by US-backed Cuban dissidents. During the battle, an American promise to provide air cover never materialized, largely due to neglect. Military and CIA planners forgot to factor in the time difference of one hour between Cuba and their airbase in Nicaragua. Not only did the bombers arrive too early, but they also failed to rendezvous with their escort fighters from the Navy. When it became clear that the invasion would fail, JFK stopped further direct American action. The aftermath—which also saw the deaths of four US pilots—greatly humiliated JFK, who was forced to take responsibility for the debacle. For what it’s worth, JFK gained experience in handling international incidents, a tool he would later need during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
