Harmsworth founded the Anglo-Newfoundland Corporation to harvest the trees of Newfoundland to provide paper, which became one of the largest corporations in Newfoundland. Aviation In 1903, the first flight took place, and the new technology of aviation had a very romantic and exciting image in the first half of the 20th century. Harmsworth was amongst those fascinated with aviation, and came up with the idea in 1906 of having the Harmsworth newspapers offer a cheque of £1,000 for the first person to fly across the English Channel. Harmsworth followed up this challenge with another offering £10,000 for the first person to fly from London to Manchester.

In 1915, Rothermere wrote to Churchill asking him to promote one of his former reports, Jack Kruse, to the rank of captain in the Royal Naval Division, a request that was granted. The ill-fated Dardanelles campaign, which Churchill had promoted, led to a break in their friendship. By the fall of 1915, the Battle of Gallipoli degenerated into a stalemate with the Allies unable to advance up the heights of Gallipoli while the Ottomans were unable to push the Allies back into the sea. Lord Northcliffe used his newspapers to document the failures of the Allies in the Dardanelles campaign, and demanded that the Allies leave Gallipoli. The defeat in the Dardanelles seriously
