Wilson for example - that this pointless and awful struggle arose largely out of religious tensions between various groups in the Middle East. The Struggle for Mastery in Europe 1848 - 1918 saw no religious factor in the Crimean War. But Taylor was writing in the twentieth century when nationalism was all, and nation fought nation. In the twenty first century we are in a more complex situation, and a religious interpretation of the Crimean War makes more sense. War raged in the Black Sea, the Crimean Peninsula, western Turkey and in the Baltic for three years between 1854 and 1856. Conditions were famously terrible, and the fact that these conditions were so widely known resulted from improved communications which allowed news to come back quickly from the Crimea to Britain. In this sense the Crimean War was the first modern war. After Waterloo in 1815 news of victory came from men in a boat which landed at Broadstairs. Only forty years later news came back from the Crimea via electric telegraph, the first time electric telegraph had been used in war. People followed events by avidly reading William Howard Russell's articles in The Times newspaper, which was selling more copies than it had ever done. In fact newspapers played a role in bringing about war in the first place. Pressure for action against Russian "bad guys" was put on the British government by public opinion expressed through, and whipped up by, the newspapers. The prime minister, the

The museum houses a magnificent (115 meters long, 14 meters high) canvas by the famous Russian battle artist F. Roubaud, and is the best example of the national art of panoramic painting. The picture depicts the first main assault of Sevastopol on the 18th of June 1855. The circular canvas merges into the 900 sq. m. relief model.

They present accurate information, with no major falsehoods or inaccuracies. This may mean that they don't go very far with their evidence, but caution is better than enthusiastic supposition when reliable information is scarce or sketchy. I'm happy to hear from people who want me to add their sites to this page, but I will insist that they meet the above two conditions before I will add them.

Lesch's larger blog, "I Like the Things I Like," and apparently he likes cantinières a lot. Mr. Lesch has a large number of very interesting and rare images on his sight, so if images of cantinières are also something you like, clicking through his many postings will give you a plethora of them. He is also a very pleasant and generous person, which is a bonus. "Warfare in the Age of Steam" Ralph Mitchard has a very active and wide-ranging blog concerning military history in roughly the same period my book covers. He was even kind enough to post an announcement of my book (and this web site) in his April 1 posting (no joke). Here you'll often find cantinières featured in both images and text. This is a worthwile source for people interested in 19th century warfare.

Search Catalogue SS Great Western The Great Western of 1838, was the initial unit of the Great Western Steamship Company and the first purpose-built Atlantic steamship . Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel Great Western proved satisfactory in service and was the model for all successful Atlantic wood paddlers. She was capable of making record Blue Riband voyages as late as 1843. Great Western worked to New York for 8 years until her owners went out of business. She was sold to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company and was scrapped in 1856 after trooping during the Crimean War History In 1836, Isambard Brunel, his friend Thomas Guppy and a group of Bristol investors formed the Great Western Steamship Company to build a line of steamships for the Bristol-New York route. The idea of regular scheduled transatlantic service was under discussion by several groups and the rival British and American Steam Navigation Company was established at the same time. The Great Western's design sparked controversy from critics that contended that she was too big. The principle that Brunel understood was that the carrying capacity of a ship increases as the cube of its dimensions, whilst the water resistance only increases as the square of its dimensions. This meant that large ships were more fuel efficient, something very important for long voyages across the Atlantic. Great Western was an iron-strapped, wooden, side-wheel

Baptist World Alliance Heritage and Identity Commission Who are the Baptists? South Africa - German Baptists in The Cape by Elwin Tarr (c) 30Nov2003 Early Baptist history in South African splashes on our pallet in a variety of colours. We often reminisce on the arrival of the 1820 English Settlers, but this is only a part of the story. What about some of our other early fathers? History records another group of people who strike me as being just as interesting and "colourful" - the German Settlers. These folk represented a second influx of immigrants to the country and their coming makes interesting reading! Do you remember reading about the Crimean War? History books tell us that allied forces, which included England and France, were at war with Russia. A fierce battle raged at a place near the Black Sea. The allied forces met with severe resistance at this point and, coupled with severe cold and disease, they began to loose the battle. Reinforcements were desparately needed and this led to the calling of military support from Germany. The Germans unhesitatingly responded by sending a volunteer contingent to the area under General von Stutterheim. Alas, the war ended before these men reached the battle zone but by now they had became the responsibility of England and England had to decide their future. What then, was to become of them? It was decided to send them to South Africa, and Sir George Grey welcomed the proposal, but urged that the men marry before their emigration. Accordingly, mass marriages took place in England before they set sail.

The war ended Russian expansion in southeastern Europe and altered the balance of power in Europe. Background Since the 17th century, Russia and the Ottoman Empire had been involved in a series of conflicts caused by Russian expansion into Ottoman lands. By the 1850's, France and Great Britain had become alarmed at the extent of Russia's advance into Turkish territories and the possible breakup of the Ottoman Empire. Under the pretext of exercising its right (which it had held since 1774) to protect all Orthodox Christians under Ottoman rule, Russia occupied the Ottoman provinces of Walachia and Moldavia in 1853. Czar Nicholas I later offered to withdraw Russian forces from the provinces but insisted on keeping the right to protect Orthodox Christians. The Turks rejected the czar's offer and declared war on Russia in October, 1853. Course of the War In March, 1854, after the Russians had defeated a Turkish naval squadron on the Black Sea, the British and the French entered the war on the side of Turkey to prevent Russia from gaining control of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles. Sardinia entered the war in January, 1855.

The war arose from the conflict of great powers in the Middle East and was more directly caused by Russian demands to exercise protection over the Orthodox subjects of the Ottoman sultan. Another major factor was the dispute between Russia and France over the privileges of the Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches in the holy places in Palestine Supported by Britain, the Turks took a firm stand against the Russians, who occupied the Danubian principalities (modern Romania) on the Russo-Turkish border in July 1853.
