In modern Europe, apart from France, Russia also suffered the tragedy of being defeated by other European countries, which is called "Crimean War" in history. At that time, Russia was in the Russian empire under the rule of Romanov dynasty. This war is the worst war suffered by the Russian Empire, with more than 500,000 casualties. At that time, the incumbent Tsar Nicholas I committed suicide in despair.

Europe/KLOC-At the beginning of the 0/9th century, the powerful French Empire established by Napoleon I was born, which almost conquered the whole of Europe. Later, Napoleon I personally led 500,000 troops to the Russian Empire, but was defeated by Tsar Alexander I, which laid the groundwork for the failure of Napoleon I and the collapse of the French Empire.

For this reason, the Russian Empire is regarded as the savior to save Europe and become the new European hegemon. As mentioned above, any country wants to become the European hegemon, and other European countries will unite to defeat this country, so the Crimean War broke out.

In fact, the reasons for the outbreak of the Crimean War are very complicated, not only because the Russian Empire has become the hegemon in Europe, but also because it has a century-long feud with the Russian Empire and neighboring Ottoman Empire, and the war between the two countries has never stopped. The Crimean War broke out this time for the control of the Balkans, and the time was 1853 10/0/0/0/20 October.

It is called the Crimean War because the war first broke out in the Crimean Peninsula, which is located on the border between Ukraine and Russia today, over the Black Sea.

At the beginning of the Crimean War, the first 1 1 generation emperor Nicholas I of the Romanov dynasty of the Russian empire personally signed. The powerful Russian Empire defeated the declining Ottoman Empire with absolute superiority, but then the British Empire and the French Second Empire made moves one after another. The two countries supported the Ottoman Empire and declared war on the Russian Empire. In the face of multinational Coalition forces, the Russian empire changed from victory to defeat.

The battlefield of the Crimean War spread from the Crimean Peninsula to the Balkans, and the Black Sea and Baltic Sea were naval battlefields. The Russian Empire invested more than 6.5438 million troops, Britain and France invested more than 600,000 troops, and the Ottoman Empire invested more than 300,000 troops. Such a huge war mobilization was extremely rare in Europe before this.

Although the Russian empire invested a huge total force, it suffered more casualties. By the beginning of AD 1855, there were more than 500,000 casualties in just two years, which dealt a heavy blow to the Russian Empire, while the British and French allied forces only suffered 654.38+10,000 casualties and the Ottoman Empire suffered 60,000 casualties.

Because of repeated battles and defeats on the battlefield, the voice of opposing the feudal rule of the czar in the Russian Empire is rising. Faced with the pressure of war and domestic pressure, Nicholas I was exhausted and desperate. Finally, he committed suicide by taking poison on March 2, AD 1855, at the age of 59, and he reigned for 30 years.

After the death of Emperor Nicholas I of the Russian Empire, Alexander II, the eldest son, succeeded to the throne. The Crimean War continues, but the defeat of the Russian Empire has been decided. At the beginning of A.D. 1856, the Russian Empire finally surrendered, accepted the treaties of the British Empire, the Second French Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and lost its rights and control over many territories.

Later, Lenin said that the Crimean war fully showed the disadvantages of the Russian empire that practiced serfdom. Facts have proved that the Russian empire broke out because of serfdom, and was overthrown by the revolution soon, all because the Russian empire was hit hard in the Crimean War.
