The incompetence of the British high command resulted in significant casualties within its own forces, notably during the Charge of the Light Brigade. In response, Florence Nightingale and her team of nurses worked tirelessly to enhance the dire conditions faced by the wounded and ill soldiers. As reports of the troops' suffering made their way back to Britain, public outrage ultimately led to the collapse of the government.
