Their neutrality will prove ruinous for the Austria State. Austria stayed neutral during the war, when Russia expected its support, thus abandoning its alliance with Russia. Having lost the trust in Austria, Russia will refuse to help Austria during the following Franco-Austrian war and Austro-Prussian war and resulted in the lost of Austrian Italy and Austrian exclusion from the German Confederation and the decentralization of the state (Compromise of duel monarchy with Hungary), and ultimately, contributed to Russia and Austria being on the opposite side of WWI and the downfall of the Habsburg monarchy
People wanted to avoid another war on the proportions on the Napoleonic Wars, where basically every bit of Europe saw war. So they reduced the scale of the war, at least territorially. I think it was called limited warfare or something like that.
The Baltic was also a very important theatre even if not depicted in this video, the British cut off Russian baltic trade and occupied a bunch of islands
Please correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't the capital of the Ottoman Empire be Constantinople? I think that it was changed to Istanbul after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire in 1918/19 as a symbol of the new nation of Turkey being a completely separate entity from the old empire. I may be wrong on this because it has never been entirely clear to me when this happened, but this is definitely me being unnecessarily detail oriented.
The vernacular way to talk about the capital would often be in this time Istanbul, or if you spoke Greek, Is Stan Poli. This was even true in the late Roman times 400 years before the Crimean War, as it was by far the most important city in the region, you would simply say: The City, or He Polis. Is Stan Poli means the Way to the City. Turkish was still written in the Arabic script, where vowels are implied, and regional dialects anyway meant that harmonization of the means to refer to the city was limited. Atatürk did indeed officially change the name for all legal purposes to Istanbul, but it was acceptable and often the legal name to refer to the capital of the Roman Empire followed by the Ottoman Empire as Constantinople, or in Turkish, Konstantinyye.
@@robertjarman3703 Its surprising how worked up people get over Istanbul vs. Constantinople even if the origins are still Greek, and its a pretty harmless name change. I imagine its more just because "Istanbul" carries with it the connotations of being owned by the Turks still.
Turks were calling the city Konstantiniyye in the early Ottoman times while the Christians called it Constantinople. Turks slowly started calling the city Istanbul and it became Istanbul in the later times of the Ottoman Empire but most of the world continued to call it Constantinople. Ataturk officially made the city's name Istanbul in 1930 and the world started calling it Istanbul after that. So when did Turkish people start calling it Istanbul? I don't know. But it officially became Istanbul in 1930.
Modern Greek history is the most underated in Europe, yeah everyone knows about Ancient and Medieval Greece but noone talks about the modern Greek history.

One problem for Russia during the war was the fear of an all out assault from France/UK. Maybe if they somehow got Prussia to join. So about half their army was stuck in reserve waiting for a possible invasion. Had they concentrated their full force in the Black Sea the war would have been very different.
So, the British-French operations are well known especially thoose in Crimea, and here is the less known part in which Turks were all by themselves againist Russians: The war started on 5th October 1853, and on 30th November, the Russian fleet managed to destroy an Ottoman naval squad in the port of Sinop, which prevented Turks from efficiently supplying their forces in Eastern Anatolia. In this region, Russians managed to defeat numerically superior Turkish army in several battles, and invaded Kars, Ardahan and Artvin provinces. As war slowly turned to allied tide, Russians were repelled by experienced Ottoman commander Omar Pasha in early 1855 and there was a status quo in east for the rest of the war. Meanwhile in Balkans, there were no allied forces present than thoose of the Ottoman Empire until mid 1854, and from the time of wars beginning to this date, Turks fought Russians in a 1v1 aswell. First notable actions were battles of Dobrich and Silistra, which held for a long time and dealt high casualities on the Russian army, which suffered disorganization from the break out attempts by the Turks, commanders often had to regroup kilometers behind the frontline. By the end of the Siege of Silistra, Allied forces had begun transferring to Varna, and Omar Pasha was advancing into Russian-occupied Wallachia. Two armies made several contacts with eachother - notable battles being Calafat anf Oltenitsa- and modernized Ottoman army managed to repell and counterattack the Russian armies to Targoviste, reconquering Bucharest (some citings claim that they were welcomed by cheering of the locals) which led to an Austrian intervention to control both Romanian principalities until end of the war. The reason I wrote this, is the popular belief that Turks could only manage to defeat Russians with help from Europe. The army officers were considerably skilled after gratutading from the schools Mahmud II had established, and reorganization of the said army and officer corps gave Turks flexibility advantages, which helped them together with discipline. Turkish successes were shadowed by thoose of allies in Crimea, and smaller sized defeats in East Anatolia. The empire was not yet a sick man, and did well on its own part during the war.
Yes, Abdulmejid I and Mahmud II military reforms helped the empire in this war quite a bit. You are right about that misconception too, the Ottoman army is often overlooked in this war.
This war had an important impact on the history of Ethiopia. Emperor Teeodros II at this time was sending bucket loads of letters to Queen Victoria asking for a Christian alliance against the "Muslim Turks" (which for Tewodros included rapidly encroaching Egypt). When he learnt of the Crimean war and that Britain's policy was completely opposite (helping the Turks attack a Christian nation), Tewodros then kidnapped some British envoys and went to Magdala. Britain responded to this by sending an expedition to free the envoys and punish Tewodros (Abyssinian Expedition). The emperor realised his blunder and ended his own life amidst the hopeless situation.
Yeah quite a stupid blunder on his part. The British and Ottoman Empire had been allying with inter-religious empires since nearly their creation. They did not care if you were a Muslim or Christian Empire/Kingdom.

It will end under Alexander II in 1864.
Yey new video

¿podrías dedicar un vídeo a la guerra de sucesión española?
Bro I just had it in my history lesson💀
Bruh.
Can you please make a video on the Tigray war? It's an ongoing civil war in Ethiopia, and since it's start in 2020 some interesting events happened, like at one point the Tigrayan rebels were advancing on Addis Abbaba (Ethiopia's capital), and it also risks drawing in Ethiopia's neighbours, particularly Sudan and maybe Egypt. Anyways, please make a video on it, it's a really overlooked war today.
I think a youtuber named "yeast" made a video on it
Your Fusion Album Premiere Listening Party video is Private/Not out for some reason.....

Is the North America video still being made?
love this map style!
i found it funny that i thought the crimean war was the 2014 war against ukraine lmao
Pretty thoughtless to call the 2014 Crimean crisis a war.
Greece was going to use that opportunity to attack the ottomans but the british and french saved them and stopped us
Fuat pasha stopped. Pata battle
@@furkancimen3145 what?
@@TheHunterOfYharnam Greece wouldn't have even existed if it wasn't for the french and british
@@starcapture3040 Nope, both the french and the british didn't want and independent Greece. Greeks liberated Greece, whoever helped only did in the last 3 years and almost all the fighting aside from one important naval battle was fought by the greeks. The great powers were forced to accept a world with Greece in it.
@@TheHunterOfYharnam its the other way around
It has nothing to do with this video, but why the heck can't Crimea just be independent, with no Russia and no Ukraine? Is that hard for Russia to not annex everything between Ukraine and Russia?
I agree! And then inderpendent Crimea shall join Greece!
@@stephmod7434 I wasn't talking about this war

what program are you doing this with?
This war shows how miserable was the Ottoman Empire, and how strong were the Russians back in the 19th century.
Not really since russia lost but probably could’ve won if france britain and sardinia didn’t intervene
russians kept attacking ottomans so its obvious that ottomans were weaker
@@nonotatalllol they shown that they could have won that way in the 1877-78 balkan crisis
Pretty sure it was how miserable both empires were but like sure (literally the catalyst for various reforms in russia)
Damn, If Russia won that war, The Balkans would have been free much earlier...

Yes free @@mesotheliomamike4748

The ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war also happening in the similar geography.
There was once a United States of the Ionian Islands!?
It was a British colony.
Yes. The states were:
Corfu.
Cephalonia.
Cythera.
Ithaca.
Paxos.
Leucas.
Zakynthos.
Amazing
I'm surprise how the allies won even when the Russian troops are double
The russians had like 25% more troops, most of which didn’t reach the front. they had less troops than the allies in crimea
Allies sufered much higher casulties
@@play_boy7543 well it’s expected when attacking
Was it costly because nothing happened?
What do you mean nothing happened?
@@grievetanbecause unlike most war videos that you see on this channel the front lines barely move

It is always nice seeing Russia lose.
Why?
1877-1878 soon.
@@stephmod7434 russia because the population of russia is rising fast , there were rebels next to russia and the ottoman was in a difficult situation , it has nothing to do with the Russians being very good soldiers or the Turks being very bad soldiers

I think the russo-ukranian war will be the second crimean war
Russo Ukrainian war objective is to conquer all Ukraine
What are those gaps in Russia?
Uncolonised land

@@ryebreadthewhite3392 Circassians, they are no longer there, but are in Siberia
Forgive me for my ignorance, but I thought this was going to be the one in 2014 💀
The events of 2014 cannot be called a war, Russian troops simply occupied Crimea without a single shot and held a referendum
@@bIbIXHYTbIU ☠
Oh boy another Crimean war video that ignores the fighting in Kamchatka
The Russians drove off one naval attack, and then left anyway. When the British showed back up they gave it a quick bombardment and then also left.
Not really worth getting salty about one way or the other, surely.
You mean the region on the other side of the continent, completely removed from the combat that actually mattered or the nations involved? I'm sure that would have been riveting.
@@hirocheeto7795 maybe you shouldn’t talk about thinks you don’t know anything about
@@loadeddice4696 Tigerstar dickriders getting upset over the mildest criticism, not unusual
@@YeastCartography Quite the convincing response. Now I see that Kamchatka, the icy, hellish wasteland, was indeed an intense battleground, and the outcome proved decisive in the overall war.

@@serhad8289одно дело вмешиваться в какие-то террористические разборки в странах, у которых солдаты вооружены автоматами и на этом все, причем всеми цивилизованными странами вместе, как США и их союзники, а другое - вторгаться в сильнейшую страну, целиком находящуюся в Европе и имевшая боевой опыт в одиночку(Беларусь лишь предоставила территории), как рфия. Если бы у вашего врага была бы такая сила, вы бы тоже там застряли, учитывая, что в северной части Киевщины сплошные болота, закрепится там сложно.
Если бы не болота и патриотичность солдат и их мужество или если бы они не были славянами(заметил очень интересный феномен у славян - с ними лучше не воевать, даже если ты тоже славянин), от Украины бы остались рожки да ножки.
Crimea is Russia! 🇨🇺❤🇷🇺
It is but does this have to do anything with the video? The Anglo French didnt annex it.
Keep on track with the video itself lad, don’t assume it’s about Ukraine if it’s Crimea. Damn Cubans......

why are we arguing about which empire is worse? they’re both imperialists, especially back then. and neither entity at all is the same as it was then. both britain and russia have undergone massive changes and the fabric of their country has shifted since then
