From the perspective of medical advancement, those soldiers did not die in vain, as their suffering galvanized Europeans to improve their methods of treating wounded and sick soldiers.

    "France takes Algeria from Turkey, and almost every year England annexes another Indian principality: none of this disturbs the balance of power; but when Russia occupies Moldavia and Wallachia, albeit only temporarily, that disturbs the balance of power. France occupies Rome and stays there several years during peacetime: that is nothing; but Russia only thinks of occupying Constantinople, and the peace of Europe is threatened. The English declare war on the Chinese, who have, it seems, offended them: no one has the right to intervene; but Russia is obliged to ask Europe for permission if it quarrels with its neighbor. England threatens Greece to support the false claims of a miserable Jew and burns its fleet: that is a lawful action; but Russia demands a treaty to protect millions of Christians, and that is deemed to strengthen its position in the East at the expense of the balance of power.

    Plot twist: When Russia lost, it left the Russians to need money for its war & military cost, in Alaska Russia was worried that Britain would take that territory, they also gave it to USA because its distant from Moscow that it would be challenging to manage, the British/Canada would capture Alaska if the Russians didn’t deploy in time, at this point Britain has a strong military all over the globe, and the US owning the place would be a great idea, they know a thing of handling the British.

    Russia was very angry of the Habsburg empire because they rejected their call to help them against Great Britain and France. In 1849 Russia's 200 000 strong army saved the Habsburgs from collapsing against the 1848-49 Hungarian revolution. Without the Russian help Austria would had ceased to be an empire, and Hungary would secede as an independent country, as its leader Louis Kossuth wanted.
    In april and May 1849 the Hungarian troops scored one victory after another against the Austrian army, liberated Hungary, and the Habsburgs were affraid of being invaded by Hungary. So the emperor went to Warsaw and, according to some, he kissed the tzars hand, to thank for the Russian armies intervention in Hungary. However this act of kissing is not certain, but still the two emperors meeting took place, which was a humiliation for Austria, showing that they were incapable of putting down a revolt by themselves, and that they were forced to ask another country to help them. In June Russia's 200 000 army came to help, so in 13 August 1849 the Hungarian army put down its weapons before the Russian troops. The Austrians wanted to execute the Hungarian army leaders who defeated the mighty Austrian army, instead of them, and, instead of surrendering before an austrian commander, they did this before the Russians, but the Russian tzar, Nicholas I. put the condition to spare the life of general Artúr Görgei, the most talented Hungarian general, who caused so many defeats to the Austrian army, and who was the high commander of the main Hungarian troops who surrendered before the Russians at 13 August. So the Austrians could not take revenge on him, executing instead 13, lower Hungarian generals. But still Franz Joseph could not forgive the tzar that Görgei was spared. So although the Hungarian independence was put down, the Austrians felt humiliated by the fact that they were saved by the Russians, and, the Hungarians chose to surrender before the Russians. The Habsburg emperor Franz Joseph did not forgave the Russians this humiliation.
    This is why Austria refused to help Russia in the Crimeean war.
    Of course tzar Nicholas himself was angry of the Habsburgs, so their alliance ended here, starting the antipathy which finally led to the I. WW.

      By the time of the Crimean conflict the Austrians were almost as bad as the Ottomans for being a paper tiger of a power. The events of '48-'49 only seemed to confirm that view to their neighbours. Had Austria got involved in Russia's favour, an allied-backed independent Hungary would have been an almost inevitable outcome.
      In many ways I think it's a shame that didn't happen as it might have solved a lot of geopolitical problems further down the line.

Without his help Rudolf would had been defeated, and the Habsburg Empire would have not been established, and probably today Austria would be a Czech province.

      @@viktor8395 Well, Russia should have understood that they were seen as dangerous by the majority of the European states and nations. even those whom the Russians thought to be their natural allies, because of being Slavs. So you see that many of the Slavic nations which were helped by Russia to achieve their independence because they were Slavs, or Orthodoxes (Bulgarians, Romanians, Czechoslovakians, etc.), today turn their back on Russia, and ally with the NATO, excepting the Serbians. Instead of finding allies which only showed themselves as such to achieve their goals, then turned their backs, Russia should had search for allies among those people which, in many ways were regarded by the other European nations in the same way as them. And these were the Hungarians. Although we are so big and powerful as Russians, but because of our not Indo European origin, we were and are hated today by them. Today you see that the only country from inside of the EU, which try to stop or diminish the sanctions against Russia, is Hungary. Hungary of course could not stop everything, because is a little country (and is little because of this visceral hatred by the European nations, which thanked to her the stopping of the Mongol, Ottoman invasions against Europe, in which we sacrificed 2/3 of the Hungarian population, by cutting Hungary into pieces at Trianon in 1920, and throwing 3 million Hungarians as national minorities, which are treated in these countries in almost similar ways the Russians are in Ukraine, and in the Baltic states), but still managed to prevent the ban of patriarch Kirill from entering the EU, and the total ban of oil and gas import. With this Hungary won more threats, and more attacks from the EU, which refuses to give Hungary the money they earn to her for the rebuilding loan after Covid. So these two countries should see that their fates are common.

    3:21 Nicholas I definitely cared. He, like all tsars, was very pious and saw himself as the protector of all Orthodox Christians. To dismiss that as just a front for geopolitical acquisition is a very ahistorical position whereby you're applying modern, western, secular motives to a place they don't belong.

    Still very surprised by the fact there is not a single mention of the battle of Malakoff, bloodiest and most decisive battle of the war, directly causing the capture of Sevastopol (whereas the Alma, Balaclava, Inkerman and Eupatoria are all mentioned).

      It's true that when you look at the armchair historian's videos about the French military, the only video about a French military success he made out of close to a dozen videos doesn't even mention once the battle of Malakoff, greatest battle of the entire Crimean War. His video on the War of the Spanish Succession also implies that the French lost every military encounter and were only able to obtain a honourable peace thanks to diplomacy. LOL.
      The rest of the videos are :
      How did Prussia end the French Empire?
      Why was France so ineffective in WW2?
      France's worst defeat in Vietnam.
      Etc.
      Even the only video he made about Napoléon was a defeat.
      I kinda see a pattern.

      Ну будем честны соловец был только на половину монастыре, а на вторую половину вполне себе крепость и каторга. А Петропавловске камчатск никого не добивал, они прямо они бились с полным контингент ом англичан. Была ещё попытка десанта в Владивосток, но они приплыли посмотрели на крепость с 52фунтовыми пушками и уплыли

Да и чем монастырь не крепость: высокие крепкие стены, достаточное количество запасов. Вот только защитниками этой "крепости" ( если мы разбираем случай Соловецкого монастыря в годы крымской войны) являлись монахи, и основной подвиг заключался в том, что не обученные военному делу люди, давшие клятву не брать в руки оружия сумели победить эскадру "морских держав" тем самым не дав им пройти к Архангельску, цели их военной компании
