Russia’s Black Sea Ambitions Crushed | Crimean War History | Oga Atlas

Описание: In the 1850s, the world’s greatest empires tested each other’s power on a rugged peninsula jutting into the Black Sea—Crimea. Once under the Ottoman Empire, Crimea was now controlled by Russia, which saw the weakening Ottomans as an opportunity to dominate the Black Sea, expand into the Mediterranean, and control vital global trade routes.

But Britain, France, and the Kingdom of Sardinia couldn’t let Russia grow unchecked. They joined forces—not to save the Ottomans, but to protect their own influence and trade dominance. What followed was the Crimean War (1853–1856), a brutal conflict that devastated Russia’s economy, reshaped European geopolitics, and led to the Treaty of Paris—forcing Russia to pull its navy from the Black Sea.

This video dives into the Crimean War’s causes, major battles, and lasting impact on the balance of power in Europe.
