Extractions: John Sloan TRANSLATE THIS PAGE This site is devoted to the history of Crimea. Here we have added the article on Crimea from the great 11th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica published in 1910. It obviously is dated now, but actually gives a better flavor of what Crimea was like in the 19th century, not long after the Crimean War, than a recent article would. Crimea We are adding the encyclopedia articles on individual topics such as Bospor, Chersonesus, Scythia, Khazars, and the like. We will show selected photos taken during visits to Sevastopol and surrounding region in 1992, 1993, and 1997. For convenience we have divided the material into the subject categories listed below.
Sveaborg And The Crimean War
Account of the allied naval bombardment of Sveaborg in Finland.
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/pauli.kruhse/lauttasaari/crimean.htm

Extractions: In April and August 1854 ten British naval ships made several reconnaissance surveys on the waters near Sveaborg ( see the map of 1855). From that time there are on the southern tip of inscriptions cut on the rock. These are most probably done by local defenders. On Aug. 6, 1855, the Anglo-French fleet lead by Admirals Richard S. Dundas on Duke of Wellington and Charles Penaud on Tourville "An Unknown Soldier" on the island. The firing was not aimed at the city, which thus suffered hardly any damages. The city people even watched the bombardment (picture below) from high places in the city. When the shelling ceased but fleet remained still there, a minor panic broke out in the city. It was assumed that the city is the next target. However, on the 13th of August in the morning, the warships sailed off. Some contemporary news reports in London and Paris newspapers, describing Sveaborg and Helsingfors (Helsinki) being levelled to ashes, were a little bit exaggerated. An English officer's
The Crimean War
Discussion which focuses on the diplomatic manoeuvres that preceded the war and its lasting effect on European politics.
http://mars.acnet.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/russia/lectures/19crimeanwar.html

Extractions: Diplomatic Prelude As he had on other occasions, Nicholas I tried again in 1853 to get an understanding with England about the position of Turkey and to prevent a rapprochement between England and France. The Russians would not tolerate the establishment of the English in Constantinople, but did not want to annex the city either. Temporary occupation by Russia might, however, be necessary to secure Russia's aim of finally getting secure outlet from the Black Sea. In discussions with Foreign Minister Russell of Britain Russia suggested an independent Moldavia and Wallachia, a Serbia under Russian protection, and an independent Bulgaria. The English were to get Egypt and Crete. The Austrians could establish themselves on the Adriatic. Russell rejected the "offer" and said that France would have to be consulted on the matter. Nicholas I, however, was under the erroneous impression that some sort of "new system" existed as a result of Nesselrode's Memorandum of 1844, which had suggested a arrangement with regard to the Straits. This particular memorandum and the substance of the current diplomatic conversations with British Ambassador Seymour in St. Petersburg were published by Britain and touted as proof that "dark ambitions of a foreign despot" were endangering the peace of Europe. The Franco-Russian dispute over the holy places in Palestine was the immediate cause of the Crimean War. At the time Turkey controlled Palestine, Egypt, and large chunks of the Middle East. The Port (Moslem ruler of Turkey) had given privileges to protect the Christians and their churches in the Holy Land to many nations. That explains why so many different churches and nationals control various holy shrines in Israel to this very day. At the time France and England had gotten more specific commitments from the Port than other nations.

The flag is still in St Paul's Cathedral, but what happened to Ensign Butts? Michael Hargreave Mawson, Making History 's Crimean War specialist, revealed a remarkable story. Frederick John Butts joined the 77th (East Middlesex) Regiment of Foot as an Ensign, by purchase, on 18 March 1853. War broke out just over a year later and Butts and his regiment went off to the Crimea, where they landed on 14 September 1854. Six days later came the first battle of the war - the bloody battle of the Alma, where the Russians had expected to hold the allied forces at bay for at least three weeks. The battle was over in three hours.
