Answer

Mesopotamia was the site of a campaign led by Townshend during WWI. The campaign aimed to secure control of the strategically important region, which was part of the Ottoman Empire. However, the campaign faced numerous challenges, including logistical difficulties, disease, and fierce Ottoman resistance. Ultimately, Townshend's forces were forced to surrender in 1916, resulting in a significant British defeat.
