1854-1855: The True Horrors Of The Siege Of Sevastopol | Crimean War

The fake accents used for "Russian" voices are just stupid

Russian navy, von Kraemer memories .... From FINLAND

why in this documentary Crimea is referred to as Russia if it belonged to Ukraine?

Don't let honor prevent you from doing the right thing.

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.

⚘️

the final sentences are making one thing clear. All these fancy empires fought about nothing...to at the end loose everything.
Well not everything. But their fancy empires.

A Great sadness overcame me after seeing this documentary. War, does it solve anything? It's 2023 and Russia fights again in the Crimea. Lord, will this never end? Save us from this folly.

So this war over Crimea has been going on for 170 years now

I am the Standard Bearer for my local RE Association and every year, we hold a memorial parade for Captain Henry VC RA. He was bayonetted 12 times at Inkerman, but survived and finished his days at the Royal Citadel, Plymouth UK. He is buried at Ford Park cemetery and we honour him every year.

What terrible commentary at 47.20, so the nations that have been fighting for independence for centuries get blamed for ww1. The documentary makers have no idea. Typical imperial colonial viewing of the world (british perspective)

It was not a petty disagreement between the newly independent nations that caused ww1 but imperial austria and germany attacking small serbia

In the crimean war The brits basically went and murdered people half way around globe as they have done for centuries to protect there trade / slaving / raiding interest. This was not different.

The Title is completely inaccurate.

While the quality of the documentary is very good, I would have preferred to have found it through honest and accurate labeling.

It was the last time modern powers propped up teh backward Ottoman Empire. The next time the British and French armies were near Turkish armies, they defeated them and ended their empire.

Probably the most topical study for the coming collapse of the Kremlin Kleptocracy after the Ukraine genocide. The world must not hate but love Repentant Russia People in need when that terrible day comes so that Russia doesn't collapse into something worse than Putin.

Mary Seacole The Black Angel Of Russia OMG 👼💪✊✌️

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 .

Completely leave out the Irish in this documentary - from the navies to the rail workers , cooks, nurses , doctors war correspondents , commanders - this is 10 years after Victoria's rule starved out the Irish . It's incredible . Insulting .

I'm definitely not paying for the Channel. Sorry Dude and I hope that Mutton Chop Whiskers don't rear their ugly head as do beards 😅😅😅😅

sahme Regalnd was not amogst casulties

The bolshoviks are discusting murderers

Outstanding.

Good thing russia revolted last thing they’d want is a leader that has all the power and will never step down 😂

We should make all leaders female. Can’t get any worse than what has been.

Although it was not the intention of the allies to free the serfs of Russia, the allied victory achieved that very act. Alexander II can be seen as the only good Czar in Russia's history. But like Lincoln, he was assassinated.

Leo Tolstoy sounded like he was related to Connor McLeod [who first died in 1536].

Fanny jubilee 🤣🤣

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

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

Russia will lost again.

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.

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.

The British again sent boys to death to care to less for these boys in filth while the cowards and warmongers lived a life of luxury in their beds .this was the great empire of dirt...which their bloody apron cannot ever be cleaned.

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.

Very good doco. I have always for some reason been interested in the Crimean war, but never really understood what it was about.

All wars are bankers wars. Be interesting to see that aspect of the Crimean war.

I am Jamaican and proud of Miss Secole

[Q] did you hear, what happened to the Criminal Rainbow?
[A] he was arrested, tried & convicted, Then sent to PRIZM, but it was a LIGHT Sentence
you have just been IOWA DAD JOKED

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, FOR CONTROL OF THE BLACKSEA PORTS!

Utter madness. Lessons not learned and repeated interminably. What a waste of human life

Beautifully written and presented as only the British can do.

Who is the supreme historical looter of nations, the Romans or the British or the Arabs? It`s better to change the name of the book on our human history to the " Criminal Records of the Human race ". We`re disgusted animals, the scum of the animal kingdom.

Mary Seacoal, god bless her,
She saved many a soul on the battlefield, heroes of the battlefield GIFTED her there medal's, free Jamaican, we owe so MUCH 🗣️💯💥😱☠️🙏God bless Miss🙏🗣️RIP💪✌️😍🇬🇧🆘

I'm watching this on the 7th of June 2022,😵😭🇬🇧🆘💯🗣️ if you want to know where your going?????
Look WHERE you have been🆘🇬🇧💯🗣️😱☠️💥🧐

So now the Russians have taken Crimea and the entire coast of the Azov Sea ........ 167 yrs later. I fail to see what all of this British, French, and Turkish glory has accomplished. What a waste in human life. Charge of the Light Brigade: just a huge gory mess.

I wonder if that officer who referred to "the legions of Lucifer" doing battle, had any idea how close to the truth he really was. I am of the belief that all of these dreadful wars were orchestrated by pure evil. The carnage and blundering mismanagement only got worse during WW1, and culminated in thermo-nuclear weaponry by the end of WW2, taking the world to just one button push away from the Armageddon.

Why does Tolstoy sounds Welsh in this video? 🤣🤣🤣

170 years on and we are still fighting meaningless wars. Is the human race evolving? Does not show

Bad title . What revolution ?

The lucky officer's got the best service not the rank and file
