And the The Welcome to Russian History Retold, episode 148, the Crimean War, the Crimean War,

The End. First off, I'd like to apologize to my regular listeners who keep up with me on a week-to-week basis. I haven't put an episode out for quite a while, and I guess you might say it's been a little bit of a Crimean war fatigue

that's set in.

We've gone through this war for quite a long time.

It's one that's really deserving, but it was quite a bit of work and I wanted to take a little bit of a break

Going a little vacation and clear my head and finish up the last two episodes

You're going wait a minute. Isn't this the end? Well, it is the end of the Crimean

War that we're going to be discussing today. But the war doesn't end for the combatants and for

the countries that were involved with the signing of the peace treaty.

There was a lot of repercussions that went on afterwards and next time we're going to go over

those repercussions and who really won the war and who really lost the war.

But that is for next time.

So last time we covered this stalemate at Sevastopol and the appalling conditions the men in the trenches were forced to endure.

Today we'll wrap things up and bring a close to the Crimean War in a way that was very unsatisfying to the English.

Since it's been quite a while, let's start by reintroducing the main players.

Baron Raglan still leaves the British contingent. General Pelicier has replaced

Con Robert for the French. Omar Pasha is still head of the Turkish forces and

Menchikoff is under pressure from the Nuzar, Alexander II.

The Allies now fully understood that Sevast the Pole was not going to be taken

easily despite the constant bombardment. They decided to

revive the plan to attack Kirsch, which greatly excited the British. They

launched their attack on May 24th, 1855.
