    To anyone wondering the impact of this war to the belligerents
    1. Despite being the victors The ottomans gain nothing from this war, victory in this war did not bring any significant material gain for the ottomans not even a war indemnity. On the other hand, the Ottoman treasury was nearly bankrupted due to war expenses, the Ottomans achieved no significant territorial gains, lost the right to a navy in the Black Sea, and failed to gain status as a great power, making them even more dependent on the British and France.
    2. The Austrians, sespite being unscathed from this war, actually loses the most, abandoning its alliance with Russia, and not siding with allies either, they pretty much isolated themself, resulting in the series of disastrous defeat with france in 1859 and Prussia in 1866, rendering their influence in the German speaking lands to a miniscule
    3. In Great Britain, Lord Aberdeen, the British Prime Minister, the mastermind of this war lost a vote to No Confidence, and forced to resign, in the end despite won the crimean war, the British Government face a major publuc backlash and failed to stop Russian expansionism for good, 1877 would show this
    4. The Russians, definitely being punished from this war, and being forced to dismantled their fleet in the Black sea, it was a hummiliation, but, compare to the ottomans and the Austrian, the Russian punishment are only on the short terms, after extensive modernization and reforms by Tsar Alexander II expanding the railway, communication and the army, Russia is back on the game, with the fall of france in 1870, renouncing the treaty of paris and establishing the black sea fleet once again, in 1877, they would steamroll the balkans, and cause the independence of Bulgaria and Serbia
    5. For france, despite losing more men than the british, actually the only nation that trully "won" this conflict, firming their control of church in the middle east, and also in the ottoman empire.

      The Austrian decision to stay neutral is offten portraied as stupid. But it was the only reasonable thing to do. Helping the Russians would have fueled the independence movement of the Slavic part of the Empire. Siding with the Western Allies would have brought them to the front

      I wouldn't be surprised if our friend Eric here lives somewhere like Ukraine where there is lots of Anti-Russia stuff, or he lives in Russia itself and he's kinda saying that he hates Vladimir Putin's government, but not the culture and history of the country itself. Granted, I'd hate my own country and government if me and almost everyone I see is below/ever so slightly above the poverty line while my country is ran by rich mobster oligarchs that have a free pass to everything.
      Or maybe he's just salty that one of Russia's historical enemies lost a battle that he thought that shouldn't have been lost.

      That's what I hate about how schools teach history. It's not just a collection of periods, it's a chain where one event is connected to many other following it. For example one of the biggest consequences of the Crimean war was the hostility between the Russians and the Austrians, who in the Russians' eyes had betrayed them, something which would eventually become one of the reasons for WW1

      How about the Italian War of Unification? Napoleon III and Franz Joseph both made strategic errors that resulted in not only Italy uniting, but also much more larger and powerful than expected (though it was also partially because Britain secretly helped Garibaldi land in the Kingdom of Naples and overthrow it). Heck, a big reason both emperors made peace is because they were horrified by how brutal the Battle of Solferino turned out.

    Very well made a video about the Crimean War. I love how you explain the Allied logistical and strategical blunders and the Russian's mistakes during the war. It was a good video overall and you provided insight on both sides explaining the war and explaining how the war was to the public. All in all, I really enjoyed the video and look forward to more content you put out. Best regards.

    Very interesting video. I find this time period to be more interesting then the world war time period. The wars between tactics of the past and gradually the technology of the 20th century. Very nicely made. Would like the unifications of Italy and Germany next. Thanks and look forward to your next video.

      The only issue is that Russia is portrayed as a scary bear with a torn flag,while Britain as a proud Lion

      ignoring the Ottoman opression of the Balkans (Romania and Bulgaria were asking Russia to interfere, the russian soldiers entered Romania with local support,not "invaded" ottoman land as the author said)
