The traumas our ancesters went true effected everything. Paranoia, inferiority complex,  not being able to see ourselves equal with the world etc etc.. Even with Canakkale, it is like as if wee need these days to repair our broken pride. Though we did not let allied armies through Dardanels at the time, but in the end, allied forces came to Istanbul later on. 

Thank you Abla. I cant say we got over the traumas that WW1 brought. We are more confident now. But people easily remember WW1 and how Europe was our enemy when something bad happens in international relations...

some of my thoughts on your excellent translation

Şu Boğaz harbi nedir? Var mı ki dünyâda eşi? 

What is that Bosphorus war? Is there an equivalent to it in the world?

I have seen some versions of this poem with boğaz written without a capital letter.

The war was fought around the Çanakkale Boğazı, so maybe şu boğaz in the poem could be thought of as that ´strait´

What is the war of that strait?

and just a few small corrections made in red below

Ne hayâsızca tehaşşüd ki ufuklar kapalı!
