Last Crusade or First Modern War? The Crimean War 1853-1856

crimea is not russia? well now it is lol

Perhaps Crimea was the last "old war"? Its tactics and its generals were of Napoleonic War vintage
. The first modern war might well be the Boer War 1899-1902.

That’s not what the tsar meant by saying that; but it doesn’t matter, as it’s absolutely not Ukraine.

Great Britain is the immortal enemy of a free Europe

Battle of Sinop was won not only because of new weapons, but also because of new tactic: Nahimov order to attack in 2 columns and focus attacks on both turkish flag frigates instead of forming one line. Also no mention for ally fails to siege Solovetsky Monastery in White Sea, death of 2nd in command in Sevastopol - admiral Kornilov, or russians deliberately sunk their Black Sea Fleet in harbor in end of 1855

Austria was worried that Russia liberating the balkans would encourage rebellions among their own oppressed subjects. Just think about that. Imagine Russia being a champion of the oppressed and downtrodden

It amazes me how often historians refer to the 19th century as a peaceful period in Europe almost devoid of land War. The Crimean War was not the only well recorded war to take place. And the fighting between the various navies hardly discount the land battles and sieges.
Moreover historians of WW1 concentrate on the great land empires of Europe while simply leaving out the Ottoman Empire which was this account integrated with an allied with other major European Empires. We are still dealing with the consequences of the fall of the Ottoman Empire

Is the Leo Tolstoy quoted the same Leo Tolstoy who wrote War and Peace?

20/24 😂Hu nothing new with the English army here kit out of date 😂😂😂😢

Excellent work here Gentlemen

BS

The Crimean War by Orlando Figues one of the best books that I've ever read I truly recommend this one to anyone who is interested in the intense relations between the Great Powers in the XIX Century.

Thanks Britain and France for having endorsed a state which empoverished the Balkans for 500 years...much appreciated 😡

Centuries of anti Russians and wars on them has failed, and is it now they can do it when Russia is armed with the world's largest nuclear heads and the most deadly hypersonic missiles?😂😂

Question for Germany why you took so many Turks knowing our history?

Very bias lol alot of poor dodgy information

It's been reorganized and is under new management, but the current "Last Crusade" started in 1947 and the Crusaders are now called Israelites.
❤🇵🇸❤🇵🇸❤🇵🇸❤

The History begaier...as we see today in Ukraine. Russia have always this feeling that the west hate them. It's not totally untrue, invasion of Russia always came from the west, in the same they have to belong to the Europeans but in fact they are eurasian, and many west people, artists, writer, architects, danse, painter...and so on admire the russian civilisation, as I do.

Turkey Zindabad 💓❤️💞💝✊🙏

Russia zindabad 💝💞❤️💓✊🙏

Was it mentioned that Marx and Engels wrote against the Russian Empire and Russian Orthodoxy during this war? I guess after all they were allowed to agitate in peace in Britain.

One could say Operation Barbarossa was a crusade.

Didn't realise Chris Pratt was involved in the Crimean war.

Nothing much about Russian Army in the words of Leo Tolstoi haa changed

Menomale che ci sono i sottotitoli in 🇮🇹

Sounds like a kid reading a book report

Twisting the Tsars words to justify g3n0c!de on Russian Civilians is a different kind of stoopid

Any information of the 38th Staffordshire 1st of foot as my great great grandfather served in the Crimea and later onto the Indian Rebellion

We in the West don't remember the Crimean War - the Russians do.
That fact should weigh a lot more heavily in our modern geopolitical considerations. The War in Ukraine is proof of that.

Yet again Protestants and Catholics siding with r4p1st Turks instead of suffering Christians.

(Every person playing this in the background, nine minutes in, slamming fist on table) LORD PALMERSTON!

It was once again the French! (Said with tongue in cheek, before you react!) 😂

It's interesting to watch this excellent video and then draw parallels to the present day war in Ukraine.
Imagine how Russian's feel about Crimea after all this history.

where were the ukrainians?

so crimea was always russian...?

It was never about religion, just an excuse for a greedy psychopath. And history repeats itself today.

Exellent video and very relavant today. You earned a new subscriber.

My great great grandfather came out of prison and joined the Staffordshire 1st of foot and saw action in the Crimea and later in India during the great uprising, he was married so allowed to take his wife and later children

Russia was always surrounded by evil group of enemies

The French and British were idiots in supporting the Ottomans at that time. If they joined forces with Russia to crush the Ottomans then they wouldn't have to fight them in the first world war

The most important geopolitical result of this war?

Russia holds a grudge against the British but likes the US, hence sells Alaska to the Americans.

The British are not invited to bid otherwise today Alaska might be part of Canada !

Russia was a different country under the Tsars. Today it is a frustrated backseat driver with China the vehicle, & the west the target.

Religion strikes again.
