Crimean War, watched all parts. The documentary is really high quality stuff, which makes it all the more depressing to hear of the soldiers sad tale
Why don't they list the parts 1, 2, 3 -......?
@Manfred Connor So you can be just as confused as the Generals as to just what you're supposed to be doing.
Don't take this in ill terms, I still adore the series
@@troydodson9641 😆😁👍🏾
Not certain why title include the Russian revolution after the Crimean war? That was not addressed nor did it happen for another 60 plus years. In addition...the balkans were not divvied up until after the ottomans defeat in the 1877 war with Russia not after the Crimean war. Lastly, the Crimean war was not Frances only victory in the 19 century.....they seem to have forgotten 1859? When France with Italy proved victorious over Austria. Still enjoyed the video....just a couple tidbits at the end that appeared incorrect
I think they didn't count that victory 1859 because the gains were more or less lost again in the next years, ultimately nothing won for France
@@SmokeJam France did take position of the city of Nice.....which they still retain to this day....war was more about Piedmont and the alliance with them....a war that paved the way for the unification of Italy along with the intention of weakening Austria who was viewed as a foe against Frances second empire. The war worked in Frances favor....of course Austria was the big loser and would never win again..losing in 1866 and then its final defeat and collapse in 1918.
@@Andrew-pp2ql Well in that regard yes, France got what they came for, but their empire still suffered from it majorly and lost in the end
@@SmokeJam I won’t disagree napoleon III empire started to wield cracks as time went on. Constant wars did not help (Crimean, 1859, Algeria, Mexico, FPW) and of course the emergence of Prussia as a power was the finishing touches to that empire.
Quite right. The most absurd statement might be that the petty rivalries of the Balkan states ignited WW1... it was clearly Britains desire to suppress and destroy their new formost rival: Germany.
The Crimean War is really weird. One moment it seems virtually identically in parts of WW1 or even more modern, the other it is at best Napoleonic, if not Medieval.
You can really only wonder, how anyone was surprised about WW1 being such a mess, if they had this to study. Prussia/Germany at least has the excuse of not having been involved in it.
It has been surprising for me to see that trenches are being used in today’s conflict in Ukraine
@@rileyhiggins4753 Functionally, they never really went away. Sure armor can sometimes be enough, but usually not, othertimes sandbags are used. The most common type is probably some form of foxhole, as a more flexible form. I can't tell you how often we trained digging ourselves in, in some form at least. Trenches are just the most radical and wide area version of that.
But obviously cover is and will remain absolutely key to ground forces. One tends to forget that parts of the Ukrainian Donbass front have been fighting for years, with little movement in either direction, hence trenches. Moskau's full scale invasion was not the beginning of hostilities, but merely an escalation.
@@autarchprinceps agreed the conflict has been going on for some time. If you don’t already know I would encourage you to look at the terrain of the Donbas area. Tall sloping wheat fields combined with mining tunnels galore. I was there in 2005 the people there are strong salt of the earth people. They would describe strong national pride however they had no love for the government in Keiv. I imagine the trench network combined with mining tunnels is vast after 10 years of war
Its not that surprising in some ways. Nobody paid any attention to lessions the Union and Confederate Armies learned in the American Civil War. In The Great War both Allies and Central Powers were still trying to assault fortified positions in 1914-1916.
It was a very good read. The reader does make a difference. These war stories make me very sad, I wonder often how I would stand up to the fear and madness of it all.
Well as soon as you life depends on it, countless times, for as long as you are alive or for some reason make it back home. As soon as you are there in the midst of chaos, it becomes quite simple and even dull.
It’s odd to contemplate how the train of events set off in those days directly affect our relations today with the Russians, and even the Chinese and Eastern Europeans.
All wars are bankers wars. Be interesting to see that aspect of the Crimean war.
The sad thing is that we have not learned nothing from these conflicts , around 1 million innocent souls have perished in this conflict combined . Yet as fools we continue fighting and killing each other to this day under the pretentious excuses we always seem to find .
Oh how ashamed I am of those in charge that are always more than happy to send others in their place to die , without any remorse or conscience shown .
Evil masters and blind puppets , what madness to observe .
In the comments of previous chapters, there was much clucking of tongues regarding the absence of Mary Seacole in the narrative...It looks like she gets her due in this one...
Amazing documentary ...
The endurance and sadness of the diary entries is as harrowing as the diary they were written.
Photos as well wow.
May they rip.
⚘️
Very good doco. I have always for some reason been interested in the Crimean war, but never really understood what it was about.
😊
This originally was a three part, each an hour long, series. So now it has been badly edited and slapped together to less than a third of its intended length. Very sad.
yes I saw that it had 3 parts, a shame it has been knocked back
Yes i had to double check the title
I thought i was watching something else
But the previous two parts of the documentary are on the same channel? I watched them before this one.
@@cow_tools_ I dont know. All i know is this video is clumsily pieced together.
Excellent! Another keeper..
Leo Tolstoy sounded like he was related to Connor McLeod [who first died in 1536].
170 years on and we are still fighting meaningless wars. Is the human race evolving? Does not show
Fun fact: Russian tsar Nicolas twin cousin of English king. These are all royal family wars. With idiots fighting and dying for them and the central bankers named rothschilds family.
"Royal family wars"? No, it was not dynastic war to claim Russian throne or whatever, it was a conflict between different Imperial powers with their respective ideology, that is the desire to reclaim Constantinople (Istanbul) and get "warm water port" for Russia, against the desire to preserve the status quo for the Allies (Ottoman Turks, Britain and France).
Not that different to how the Communists want to spread their ideology abroad (e.g. Trotsky expedition against the Baltic states and Poland).
Fight and die for comrade Trotsky or for Emperor/Tsar Nicolas, for Lenin or the Rothschilds. They are all the same.
another fun fact is that this cousin haven't gave a shelter to Nicolas during revolution so bolshevics executed the whole royal family
Indeed. It also shows the utter disdain and indifference for the common people and their suffering.
Sevastopol is spelled with a V, not a B. The confusion likely lies in how the Cyrillic equivalent to V looks like a Western B. Also, if you want to get really technical, the emphasis is placed on the third syllable, not the second.
Μy friend the name is Σεβαστοπολις,the respected city in Greek.was a Greek colony during the ancient and the Byzantine times.here it is with capital letters.ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΠΟΛΙΣ.Β in Greek is the V in English.there is no b in Greek.if pronounced like that is barbarism in the Greek language.also Cyrillic alphabet is derived from Greek hence the similarities.

Tassie K - Σεβαστούπολις. Η αρχαία πόλη που βρισκόταν στην τοποθεσία της σύγχρονης Σεβαστουπόλεως ήταν η Χερσώνα• (όπως η Κωνσταντινούπολις κτίστηκε στα ερείπια του αρχαίου Βυζαντίου, αποικίας των Μεγαρέων). Η ονομασία της Σεβαστούπολης προκύπτει από την εξελληνισμένη μορφή του λατινικού “Augustus/Augusta” (Aύγουστος/Αυγούστα = ελλ. «Σεβαστός»/«Σεβαστή» (Αγγλ., august, venerable, revered). Ο τίτλος έχει βέβαια ρωμαϊκή προέλευση (τιμητικός τίτλος που αποδόθηκε για πρώτη φορά στον πρώτο αυτοκράτορα Οκταβιανό Καίσαρα και αργότερα καθιερώθηκε ως μέρος των ρωμαϊκών αυτοκρατορικών τίτλων έως το τέλος της Ανατολικού Ρωμαϊκού κράτους- «Βυζαντίου»). Η Σεβαστούπολις όμως δεν υπήρξε βυζαντινή ή μεσαιωνική πόλη. Ιδρύθηκε μόλις τον 18ο αιώνα από τους Ρώσους επί Μ. Αικατερίνης Β´ στα ερείπια της αρχαίας ελληνικής πόλεως Χερσώνος και της δόθηκε η ονομασία «τιμής ένεκεν» της Αυτοκράτειρας, η οποία φιλοδοξούσε να εμφανίζεται ως «Αugusta-Σεβαστοκράτειρα», κληρονόμος των βυζαντινών αυτοκρατορικών τίτλων (όπως το «τσάρος» είναι παραφθορά του «Καίσαρας»). Σύμφωνα με τους Ρώσους οι τσάροι ήταν οι νόμιμοι διάδοχοι των ορθοδόξων αυτοκρατόρων του Βυζαντίου και η πρωτεύουσά τους Μόσχα η «Τρίτη Ρώμη». Έτσι λοιπόν η Σεβαστούπολις ονομάστηκε προς τιμήν της Τσαρίνας-Σεβαστοκράτειρας Αικατερίνης Β´. -Υ.Γ. Επίσης, ενώ όπως σωστά παρατηρήσατε το β προφέρεται όπως το αγγλικό v στην Κοινή, μεσαιωνική, και νεοελληνική καθώς και στην κυριλλική γραφή της ρωσικής, η φωνητική απόδοση του βήτα στα αρχαία ελληνικά ήταν όμοια με αυτή του λατινικού και αγγλικού b ή του σύγχρονου ελληνικού μπ. Το «βάρβαρος» δηλαδή από τους αρχαίους Έλληνες της κλασικής περιόδου και πρίν προφερόταν «μπάρμπαρος»• αργότερα κατά την ύστερη ελληνιστική περίοδο άρχισε να προφέρεται σαν το σημερινό «βήτα».
Beautifully written and presented as only the British can do.
The British apparently can't get their facts straight. E.g. 48:54
@@liberteidentitemodernite - Oh, the British make mistakes, to be sure, but they make them beautifully.
The British-French victory cost the world dearly - it helped to prop up France with her pretences of being the master of Europe, provoking war and expansion into Germany and by that triggering the Franco-Prussian war and with it the confrokntations which brought about WW1 and WW2. It helped the corrupt Turkish regime to hold on for another generatiion and suppressing the Balkan peoples (and others), delaying the process of their liberation until the 1870, and by that helped also to create and intensyfying their rivalries and conflicts. A victory of Bulgaria/Russia would have created a different, more balanced Balkan situation.
Great piece of history
Whilst a good documentary, it is still very Anglo centered. When we learn the casualty figures for the French, Turks and Russians, we have to wonder why so much is made of the British casualties..? Things must have been much worse in the other armies. The graphic art work was a surprise, never seen it mentioned in relation to later art styles and it must have had some influence on artists.
Anglo-Centric complaint. Why do you assume "things must have been much worse in other armies." In precious episodes they already discussed the casualty rates of all the countries, and discussed why disease/illness/death rates were so much worse in the British army compared to other forces outside the Turks.
@@ModelTrainOutsider The American civil war during the same period, claimed many lives from poor conditions, dying from weapons wasn't they're only worry, my sister's farm has 2- confederate graves 150 miles from any battle..
@@chadsimmons6347 Yes, I am fully aware of that. Pretty much all wars pre WW2 could have that said. I guess I am dull at the moment, as I am not sure what that has to do with my reply to the original complaint that documentary was making out how bad the British had it and not the others, as if the British somehow were better.
@@ModelTrainOutsider A few yrs ago Russia took Crimea back, no fight from France, Turkey or Britain, Obama seemed to give the takeover his blessing. That bloody war was all for nothing.
@@chadsimmons6347 0-for-2. Besides, Obama roasted Putin for it and got more sanctions against Russia for it. So, leave it there before you strike out on facts and relevance.

This didn't discuss the Russian Revolution after the Crimean War at all. That's the reason I clicked on it.

Thank God it was then... not now.
way things coming to be. probably be worse than this...
Lawrence The Main dont say that dude its not good
Can’t see slaughter is much different, except for the uniforms & death comes from above and from the sea as well as land, even trench and cannon warfare in eastern Ukraine. Oh, and Russ make war on mother state, claiming she is illegitimate.
Love the documentaries! But the title is not true... You only brush over the point that these battles were the beginning of the end for the Zsar. So as much as I like this documentary too, it isn't about what you say it is^^ "the Fall of Sebasticol" would be a precise title, not "The Russian Revolution"^^
This is about the crimean war and not the russian revolution.
SeVastopol and Gorchakov. But what were all those french, british and god forbit sardinian troops doing there anyway? Should have minded their own business back home.
Nice video with clear explaining of terrifying situations in Crimea war ...might be main gullit of Russian population was presence too much row materials and resources under their feet...for that allies recollected their powers to invade whole Russia not Crimea only
The why is explained in the first video, it was their attempt to invade the ottoman empire.
cool
title is misleading
if you were lucky enough to fight in a war, and survive, well you weren't as lucky as those who died in the war. the real pains of war you carry with you for the rest of your life.
I can see the French, British and Turkish reasons for this, but what was in it for the Sardinians?? Were they hired as mercenaries? Anyhow, despite the ads (I know the bills have to be paid but have these companies measured the effectiveness of the ads..they ain't working on me...)I thought this was a very nice series..many photos and drawings that I had never seen before...
I think they were closely tied with the French.
I’m assuming the French found it easier to rouse a vassal to send 15,000 troops than to send 15,000 more of their own. The French poured a lot of soldiers in already.
They probably sent a message to Sardinia which went something like this ... “France, as you know, is at war. It is required that you raise an army of 15,000 and place it under our command for the campaign in the Crimea.”
all officers fell down ......such a Russian strategy already back in days elite sharp shooters targeting officers ..I personally think that so underrated is Italian Dolomite Mountains in Alps there was two armies Italian and Austrohungarian empire clash in crazy condition warfare ...both changed government and records got destroyed ...there was most crazy snipers ever in history climbing up highest points and killing enemies from there crazy place to fight ...
Good point Jan. Should be a documentary on this War !
One more thought and I'll slide off into the ether...In addition to the Balaclava head covering, the Crimean War also comes down to us in the form of an Open D guitar tuning called Sebastopol, named after a popular tune of the day (1860) of the same name...Fare Well, CZcams...
Since no one else has : I'd like to thank you for that interesting titbit !
It comes to me that the only European country that didnt bog down into long wars and conflicts in their own periphery during the period of 1848-1900 was Prussia (Germany). They always somehow managed to shorten the war thanks to talented men like Bismarck, Moltke, and wise ruler Wilhelm I.
they made up for it later on...
@@caspian5964 yep, because the British scoundrels succeeded after all in getting them into a major conflict by creating an international coalition - like they did versus Russia.
1:48 wasn't it 'MERRY' Ole England?
So why was Nicholas the I name not mentioned in the end? His death in 1855 from pneumonia would put his son Alexander II on throne of Russia. Alexander end the war his father helped to start
What a waste of life...
Gallipoli, WW 1, WW 2, and so it goes
Really? I rather liked it.
@@dorianphilotheates3769 he means the war not the film I think
The bloodthirsty triumphalism of Mrs Fanny Jubilee at 41.55 makes for uncomfortable listening. So typical of the armchair commanders back in London too. It's a pity that all who express such views are not made to look closely at the victims whose shattered remains made hardened soldiers vomit repeatedly as they tried to bury them.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope all is good 😊. God bless you!!❤
Nice pictures of somewhat run down Istanbul under Turkish rule in the middle of the last century around 1850 or so. The Turkish empire had grudgingly allowed French and English soldiers to enter Istanbul to prevent it from being overrun by Imperial forces intent on freeing the land of the Bulgars and declaring Constantinople the new capital of the new Bulgarian nation. Freeing the Bulgarian peninsula in about 1850 of Turkish rule implied freeing even Istanbul (Constantinople), the Turkish capital, which was unthinkable.

Well not everything. But their fancy empires.
Pretty pitiful victory if Russia can give it away as a "Gregorgian gift" to Ukraine in the 1950s and then take it back in the 2010s
Germans took Sebastopol in June 1942, 87 years after anglo-franco-turks seized it, and remained there for 2,5 years. Heavy battle with artillery bombardment had been raging on English soldiers' graveyards before the city when German stormtroopers stormed the city.
it was given away by communist dictator Khrushchev who was an Ukrainian

I'm still trying to figure out what "revolution after the ~ war" means. I suppose he means it led to some reforms. At any rate, one of the most enigmatic wars in history. I hadn't realized the French essentially won it and the British failed miserably in their final attack. It was a different world back then.
Yes simple answers war for same of power.but sending boys as young as 16 was evil .in all wars.humans are the biggest mistake and will be untill dictatorship is. Crushed from from all lands.humans kill for their land so they are told but land change just as fast as they got it back..

Soon Poland will be back home of Russian Imperial land we will liberate it after Ukraine...
A very good documentary, but I strongly disagree with your conclusions. The main losers in this war were not even Russia, but three other powers, Austria, Turkey and Sardinia. Austria betrayed Russia and in this war supported the allies and also kept the 100,000th corps near the Russian border, which is why the main Russian forces could not help the besieged in the Crimea. As a result, after this war, Russia in the Prussian-Austrian conflict already supported Prussia. Turkey, after the "victory" in this war, like Russia, lost military access to the Black Sea. Sardinia joined this conflict only because the French and British needed free cannon fodder. England France promised Sardinia much after the victory in this war. However, they were ignored in the Paris Congress, as a result of which they were left with nothing. I'm sorry english is not my language

Yeah, that assertion was pretty bad.
Second, third, fourth, fifth coalitions.
Greek war of independance, expedition in Spain, Conquest of Algeria, Belgian revolution, Pastry War, Franco-Moroccan War, 1848 intervention in Italy, Second Opium War, Crimean War, Cochinchina Campaign, Second War of Italian independance, Conquest of Tunisia, Sino-French War, Madagascar expedition, First and Second Franco-Dahomean Wars, Franco-Siamese War, Franco-Hova Wars, Boxer rebellion.
That's 24 victorious conflicts for tbe French in the XIXth century, of which at least 7 can be considered as major conflicts.
But the Crimean War was the only French victorious war of the XIXth century lmao.
@@lahire4943 ... and the expedition to install the II Mexican Empire. Perhaps you should point out the difference between "victorious conflict" and "victoriuos war". I don't see any reason to exclude other conflicts as victorious wars for France.

If the cards you're dealt in life present the options of poverty, unemployment and/or crime. I'd go for the military every day. I'm lucky that the cards I was dealt gave me better options. A great deal of that "better hand" is due to my father having enlisted and fought in the military. It left mental scars on him that would never heal.

in simple logic Russian military were defending of their homeland ..whey France & Britain helping Turkish umpire to capturing Crimea ?
I guess that was what the plain Russian citizen might have thought. Actually, no one wanted to 'capture' or conquer the Crimean Penninsula; not even Sebastopol. The true goal was to deny the expanding Russian naval power any free access to warm waters from where they could pose a threat to western colonial empires.
@@danrooc Britain and France umpires were considering meditrenian sea their own sea only with limited participants of othman umpire so their political opinions were not humanity aims?!!! or civilization aims also illegal opinion. but loss of Crimea meaning losing of Russian dominant on Azofe sea which it's considering internal Russian water completely for that their fighting (Britain, France, othman) umpires were illegal fighting completely in the crimean war
@@mohammedsaysrashid3587 Of course British and French empires were thinking in their own interests. All empires do, including the Russians. There is no such thing as "legality" in those affairs, just what diplomats and politicians build in order to pretend there is and justify themselves. Was it 'legal' the Russian navy annihilated the Turkish navy in first instance? It was all, as usual, related to what Machiavello called "Reason of State". Still is. The rest is a mere mirage.
By the way and as I mentioned, I don't think control over the Azov sea was an issue, but to stop the Russian attempt to gain access to world wide merchant sea lanes from a port in warm waters.
when you are not admit of legal & illegal point about historical events its meaning you are giving power all rights to doing any thing ...but i am believe that every solder & officer fighting on his homeland with talent against any invader he is fighting with bravery only Russian military in this case were deserving bravery describing only
when you are ignoring legal & illegal point in historical events also equal between invader & owner homeland fighter that mean you are believing of power only power no more .but i believe of homeland fighters only deserving naming braver fighters because they are fighting against invaders
The reasons for Russia's defeat in Crimea are lack of education, lack of industries and backwardness.
But this was not the case in Afghanistan either, the Taliban defeated the superpowers United States and NATO.
In fact if a nation that wants to die for freedom cannot be defeated.
Depends on the willingness of the superior force to massacre civilians on a large scale, when the Roman's or Mongols were dealing with guerilla warfare, the villages and cities were just destroyed and all the people killed. Russians just bomb cities into dust nowadays and force the population to flee or remove them...
why in this documentary Crimea is referred to as Russia if it belonged to Ukraine?
Which Ukraine? Ukraine appeared in 1917, when the Communists destroyed Russia
Russia had annexed Crimea under Cathrine the 2nd and I don’t think the rest of Europe cared. I’m sure liberals were mad at Crimea losing its independence.

*The Ugro-finnic Russia was a vassal of Crimean Khanate until 1700 and then that year Russia (under title "Moscovia") appeared as an independent state for the first time in history. Of course, Russia does not want everyone to know about it, because they are ashamed of it. Kyivan Rus was actually Ukrainian country only! The modern Russia is a true descendant of Golden Horde. According to the historical documents.*

So, Crimea is Russian. Imagine the British and French actually preventing the Russian upending of the cruel Turkish empire.
