Ships of the Royal Navy Mediterranean fleet attempted to intercept the German battle cruiser\u003cem\u003e SMS Goeben\u003c\/em\u003e and the light cruise\u003cem\u003er SMS Breslau\u003c\/em\u003e. The pursuit raced eastwards across the 'middle sea' until the German warships passed the Dardanelles to safely reach Constantinople (Istanbul) in Ottoman Turkey, at which point they were handed over to the Turkish Government and renamed \u003cem\u003eYuvaz Sultan Selim\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMidili\u003c\/em\u003e. The ships subsequently engaged Russian military positions bringing Turkey into the war as a German ally. The Goeben-Breslau affair was believed to have far reaching consequences for the allied cause and the failure of the allied naval commanders engaged effectively ended their careers.
