How did the Crimean War influence the balance of power in Europe and the future of modern warfare? This book explores the Crimean War (1853-1856), a conflict involving the Russian Empire against an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, Britain, France, and Sardinia. It examines the causes of the war, including the strategic rivalry between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, and the religious tensions surrounding the protection of Christian minorities in the Holy Land. The narrative delves into the major battles, including the Siege of Sevastopol, and the role of military innovations like the use of railways and telegraphs. By analyzing the war’s impact on international diplomacy, the decline of the Ottoman Empire, and the evolution of military tactics, the book highlights how the Crimean War shaped the political landscape of Europe and influenced the development of modern warfare techniques. |
