Opis

“The Crimean War 1853–1856. Colonial Skirmish or Rehearsal for World War? Empires, Nations, and Individuals” is an ambitious, multilayered exploration of the Crimean War that challenges the traditional view of the conflict as a limited, regional confrontation. Instead, the book positions the war as a pivotal moment in global history — a crossroads where old imperial structures collided with the emerging forces of modernity. The authors examine the war not only as a military campaign but as a complex historical phenomenon shaped by diplomacy, technology, ideology, public opinion, and the lived experiences of individuals caught in the machinery of empire.
