crimean war

What if Napoleon III didn't do a self-coup and elections are held in 1952? Would this republic be more stable than the Third French Republic? Could Nap III be influential in the politics of this France? Would the Crimean War still happen? How do Franco-British relations continue? Will Bismarck...

What if Russia was removed from Europe in crimean war ? POD is Napoleon III and Palmerston convince Austria to join the Crimean war and that a panslavic Russia is more dangerous for them than independent Poland and Ukraine. They create rebellions in Finland, Belarus, Poland and Ukraine while...

So: a different answer to the Eastern Question (with that answer being laissez-faire) has been a topic of alternate history that has interested me lately. One aspect of it that I have been thinking about: how does German unification happen in such a timeline? In OTL, of course, Austria loses...

I am studying more about the Rebellion in India against the British East India company starting in 1857. As well as other wars involving the British Empire around that time in such as the First Anglo Afghan War, the First and Second Anglo-Sikh wars, Crimean war, Anglo-Persian War, 2nd Opium war...

The Duhamel Plan was the proposed Russian invasion of India during the Crimean War. It is… ambitious to say the least. The idea was to threaten the British-controlled India by invading through either Central Asia or Persia. The invasion force would consist of nearly 30,000 Russian soldiers...

The Crimean War is notable as it is known by many to be the first "Modern War" of the 19th Century, being fight with new technology such as the telegraph and improved weaponry, but largely the same tactics as the Napoleonic Wars. The war showed the poor state of the British military at the time...

without disastrous defeats like Crimean and Russo Japanese war when will Russia abolish serfdom ?

Following the battle of Alma the Allied had a chance to take Sevastopol in 1854 as the Russian themselves noted what if they did so ? What would be the effect on the rest of the War ? Could we see the allied trie to follow up their succes by their help the ottoman in the Caucasus to create a...

After putting down the Hungarian Revolt in 1848 Russia wanted Austria to repay them. They wanted this repayment to come in the form of aid in the Crimean War. In OOT the Austrians declined, but what if this never happens and the Austrian Empire intervened in the Crimean War on the side of the...

In the mid 1800s, Russia and the Ottomans came to blows over the crimean war and Russian want of the Balkans, but Britain and France involved themselves and while not necessarily a trouncing of the tsardom, was not good for it short term. But it highlighted the reforms the empire needed done...

In the lead-up to the Crimean War, Nicholas I of Russia expected Franz Joseph I of Austria to not interfere against him, and possibly even join him. This was partly because they were both members of the Holy Alliance, and partly because Russia had earlier helped Austria to put down the Hungarian...

A Free Hand 1854 would be a turbulent year in European history. Not only would the Crimean War kick off in all earnest, but also in western Europe the borders would change. It all started a year earlier, in a minor country on the north sea coast. 1853 After the new constitution quasi-forced...

The Crimean war OTL was fought on a limited front with limited objectives, but the British PM Palmerston (among others) sought to transform the war into a much larger struggle to permanently weaken the Russian Empire. A larger coalition including Sweden, Austria, and Prussia was to be assembled...

19th Century Polish nationalist and poet Adam Mickiewicz had a dream. Well, he had lots of dreams, poets are like that. But Mickiewicz had a dream of an independent Poland, and lots of other dreams sprang from that. For example, he had a fascination with the Jewish people, and he believed that...

An Egyptian-Ottoman war scenario from a Russian centered perspective. Background Russian policy regarding the Eastern Question was constrained OTL by three primay constraints: 1. A genuine commitment to maintain the post 1815 statues quo in Europe, at least as Russia interpeted it. This...

It always wondered me why Persia didn't decide to go to war with Russia during the Crimean War to reverse the Turkmenchay. Seems like it would've been a safe bet considering they'd have the British, Ottomans, and French on their side, and they could have fielded at least a sizeable enough army...

The Crimean War in some aspects was a pretty wide conflict, and I wanted to learn more about the involvement of all the other nations in the world in this conflict. I've heard some involvement of Ireland, America, and Japan, but I'd like to hear a bit more about the largest conflict in Europe...

What if Russia lost the Russo-Turkish war? Would the Ottoman Empire last into the mid 20th century? Would Russia still eventually conquer Constantinople and still control it today as it does IOTL, or would it stay in Turkish hands up into modern days? I know there was some talk of France getting...

Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, probably the most influential Pole at the time advocated for the inclusion of the Polish freedom in the Treaty of Paris from the very start of the war (and even suggested a Anglo-French alliance against Russia at the beginning of the year), but his suggestion fell on deaf...
