The Crimean War

The devastating details of a long ago war are eloquently presented in this documentary. "The Crimean War" is a well-researched look into the conflict that shook Europe during the years 1853-56. The bloody conflict that pitted Russia against a large European coalition is shown here to be part of a chain of long-held antagonisms that continue to this day. Perhaps of all the things we remember of this confrontation, the only positive aspect that emerges is the appearance of Florence Nightingale.

War and Peace

Concluding the three-part documentary series about the 1853-6 war in the Crimea. The war ended shortly after the bloody battle of Tchernaya and, following over 300 days of siege, the fall of Sebastopol. It left one million dead, a victorious Britain building her global empire, the French army decimated and the defeated Russian tsar facing reform.
