S1E3 War and Peace

Wrapping up the three-part documentary series on the Crimean War of 1853-56, this final installment covers the aftermath of the brutal Tchernaya battle and the prolonged siege that led to Sebastopol's fall. The conflict resulted in a staggering one million casualties, with a triumphant Britain expanding its global dominance, a severely weakened French army, and a defeated Russian tsar confronted with the need for significant reforms.
