Interesting :)
You guys always make My day!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Crimean war was very bloody, full of incompetence and blunders that could have been avoided
What do you think about the 80 years war? Where the Dutch were fighting for independence, there was fighting all over the world. Notably Brazil, Indonesia, Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, Europe, and more. Would you ever consider it?
You forgot to mention the Bulgarians and there massive influence over the Russian- ottoman war .
Better make an episode about it in the future.
"A preist swings an inscense burner like a morning star" That was one hell of an image in my head
That was more like a flail or a meteor hammer tho
"Honey, new DnD Cleric inspiration just dropped"
Oh, those poor Preists fighting and some were killed. 😢
@@dmen89 Oh, we have such sights to show you
Thats why you need a missal defence!
"And suddenly, a monk throws a punch", is one of those phrases that is just incredible to hear.
Unless you play DnD. In which case that’s most campaigns with a Monk.
@@lordofinnistrad8757 Now I want to make a Way of the Open Palm Monk who doesn't actually come from a martial order... he got kicked out for brawling.
His former sect is called The Way of the Open Palm, and it has NOTHING to do with martial arts. They are a charity organization that promotes PACIFISM. But he kept getting into brawls, and finally they had enough.
He just keeps using the name because he needed that legitimacy to open some doors, and just really hopes that nobody contacts his sect and realizes that he's no longer a member.
Anyway, this is the backstory for why a certain sect of VERY FRUSTRATED pacifist monks has a reputation for solving problems with their fists. 🤣
I guess if you nothing of the history of them. I was just like figures religious nonsense started the war.
"A priest swings an incense burner like a morningstar" damn, that priest really had no chill.
@despinasgarden.4100 no joke I'm like, bruh what you swinging that burner for
Wasn’t that a scene in the second Expendables movie
In Finland we mostly know it as the Åland war, as per the fighting in the baltic.
My hometown experienced a British attack which saw them burn most of the ships and tar warehouses. Everyone here has heard the story of when ”The Englishmen came ashore”.
Well jokes on the English, the tar they burned had been already sold to and paid for by English merchants.
Feeling bad about the attack, British Quakers donated money to our city, which we used to build a road, Kveekarinkatu, or Quaker’s street.
Really hope you guys talk about this part of the war!
They also offered Sweden Åland if they joined the war but Sweden declined.
But yeah, the Baltic front was very interesting and isn't talked about much today which is a shame. The only talked about event from the war today is the charge of the light brigade.
Today the jokes i doubely on England sincw if they ever tries to attack Finnland today, i bet the finns would beat them within 2 weeks😅😅
My town of birth also saw a minor battle take place against a British naval landing.
@@chheinrich8486 whatever helps you sleep at night pal
That's hilarious. And it's a good example of why logistics are so important. They sabotaged their own pocketbooks. 😅
0:32 “A Monk throws a punch.” Totally unexpected just like the Spanish Inquisition

@@minestar2247 Impossible.

I've heard that monks excel at punching, as a character class. ;)
@Welshman2008
D&D players: "And by unexpected, I mean completely expected!"
The Crimean War is really a case study of how important supplying is, and the difficulty of taking care of an army. Two opposing examples are the ways Britain and France conducted their campaigns. In this case, the British made so many wrong choices, their army was more in danger of its generals than of the Russians.
This time they should ask Americans to help with supplies when they disembark in Crimea and Baltics to raze moscow.
Very often in military command a simple stupidity (the unofficial horsemen of the apocalypse) can do more damage than artillery, enemy attacks and dangerous battlefield. Crimean War stupid generals were predecessors to WW1 idiot generals (Douglas Haig even Churchill hated him)
Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals talk about logistics
Watching the French play 5D logistic chess in this war made me laugh very hard. Example: How do we prevent soldiers from catching STDs from local brothels?
The British: We forbid them from going there. This only leaves them with the options of self pleasure (which was socially frowned upon and people believed it legit made you blind) or homosexuality (which was punishable by death). Result? Almost a third of British soldiers in hospital beds during the war were there due to severe cases of syphilis.
The French: We create a special unit of army prostitutes and distribute them in every regiment. All of them paid by the General Command and weekly checked by doctor. Result? French forces were more or less okay, cases of STDs existed, but were relatively very few.
Wasn't this the war that got the British army the reputation of being lions led by asses?
Incidentally, Brawls like this between Christian factions still happen to this day. This is why the Keys to the Main doors of the Church of the Sepulchre are held by the Muslims Nuseibeh family of Jerusalem. The keys mentioned in the video are for the inner buildings.
But the brawl even continues between the Muslim families, doesn't it? I've heard that another family is the only one permitted to actually open the doors. Lovely Jerusalem Madness...
@@mojoworkin1348 No there is no brawling between the two Muslim families, they alternate some functions and back in the day they have had different political ambitions but that had never devolved into a brawl.
@@mojoworkin1348 No. Because the Church of the Holy Sepulchre means little to nothing to those of the Islamic faith. And so they can act as a neutral mediator between the two.
I knew nothing about this war. I thought the intro was legit an April Fools joke. It reads exactly like a Monty Python stketch. I guess fact can be stranger than fiction at times.
@@mojoworkin1348 Welcome to the Holy Lands. Too much history, too little geography.
I can’t explain how happy I was to hear the Crimean War described as the first modern war.
I once wrote an essay at university where we were asked what we thought was the first modern war, and this was my chosen war.
That’s awesome
As an MSF worker! Thanks so much for the shoutout! Your help is very important for our work and the people affected by the conflict
Thank you for your hard work!
Wouldn't the 7 Years War be WW0?
There have been a number of WW prequels.
Fractious lot, we are as a species. Also European political structures and colonialist empires are particularly.... fighty.
Honestly, thinking that way, Crimean War is like WW T -6 (The Balkan wars, the Boer wars, the Russo-Japanese War). These were all some kind of prelude to WW1, although most were much less 'global'. And these are just the ones I can think of, off the top of my head!
Another great video from Extra History!
You could argue the earliest war that could be classified as a world war in terms of sheer scope was the Byzantine-Sassanid War of 602-628, the fighting stretched across three continents, from the tip of Gibraltar to the Indus River and everyone around there was getting involved as proxies.
No… wait hold on? Nono… no yeah what
I think not because Australia was neutral because the British didn't own them at the time
I could be wrong
THEY DID IT!!! Crimean war episode foreshadowed years ago! Man I love these guys so much.
Fun fact, the emperor of austria is the same person during the crimean war in 1852 and ww1 in 1914
I forget it forbidden to say Franz Joseph
One can argue the first true global conflict was the Seven Years' War, where operations were carried out across Europe, North America, the Atlantic, India, Mediterranean, and even the Far East. But yeah, the "Crimean" War was the real prelude to the brutal conflicts of the 20th century.
The 7yrs war was world wide, but was it a World War? There was no mass involvement of civilians, just fighting by professionals, mostly navy world wide. There was no control of total economy lie World Wars. World War was a total war, the 7yrs war was not total.
So it is a world wide war, but not a World War. Similarly the Crimean War was not a World War either.

The ladder was not just left there the day before by a workman. It was there nearly 30 years before Status Quo and was depicted in a 1728 engraving and its regular use to reach the balcony was documented during the intervening years when there was a tax on entering and leaving the church that they were dodging by living inside it.
yes. It was originally used by the Armenian clergy to access what was effectively their refectory from the church's corniche
Tax dodgers. They are everywhere.
Below even the need for food and water on Maslow's hierarchy is the inate human need to evade taxes.

It’s rare Holy Week coincides on the same week. I’m Orthodox and our Easter is usually a week after Western Easter. It depends on the year. Sometimes, it’s later, sometimes it’s earlier.
IIRC it is because some parts of eastern Europe still use the Julian calendar, which doesn't have leap years.
Yep, Catholic here, and we are indeed one week apart. There was talk of making them the same week again, but it obviously didn't happen. My Orthodox friend and I shared our different traditions during that time.
@@samsonsoturian6013 Orthodox churches still use the Julian calendar, but not the the nations or states though. And the Julian calendar does have leap years, but doesn't omit those on century years not divisible by 400 like the Gregorian calendar does - thus the Gregorian calendar didn't have leap years in 1700, 1800, and 1900, while the Julian did (both had leap years in 2000). Because of that, the calendars have slowly drifted apart.
Easter fall on same day for both religion every third year.

Nicholas I: the Ottoman Empire is a sick man of Europe that will collapse any day now
Ottoman Empire: outlasts the Russian empire by a few years
Still my fav joke
Edit: PLEASE I KNOW THE COMPLEXITIES THAT CAME AFTER with the collapse of the ottoman into multiple countries and Russia simply being government change with its own loss of territory please it was a joke-
Except that Ottoman Empire shattered in handful of new states and consequently decrease in land size, while Russia basically just changed government type
Russian Empire didn't die it became a more powerful Soviet Union
It was pretty much still the Russian Empire, just under a new economic ideology
@@raidang it died
Orthodox monopoly, Romanov, monarchy, feudalism and capitalism
Everything Romanov got removed, it ended effectively. If you are going that way, then the ottoman empire was a Turkish and Islamic empire, both still survives
@@bojannisic2906 Russia changed government, ideology, legacy,
Just like the ottomans, but less radically. That doesn't deny both of them collapsed
If Crimean war is "World War 0" so the seven years war is "World War -1".
Crusades are then WW -2.
Maybe?
Nicholas make a calculated move, but boy was he bad at maths.
YAY, Thank you for doing the Crimean War always wanted to learn more about it
Same here. Whenever they post I say to myself: Oh goodie, I wanted to find out more about it.
It was briefly hinted, but one of the big reasons why Russia didn't expect England to ally with France was due to the system known as the Concert of Europe. This was setup by the Austrian chancellor Metternich after the defeat of Napoleon as a means to "stop French aggression" via a coalition of superpowers (Austria, Prussia, Russia, and England). The system worked so well* that it brought the longest period of peace in Europe ever seen to that point.
*there were obviously some hiccups along the way, and plus most of the conflicts had just been exported to outside of Europe (for example the Great Game for Afghánistán mentioned in the video). But overall the leaders of the leading countries of Europe were pleased with the arrangement
There's actually much more to talk about the Concert of Europe that I think would make for a great EH series
WW1 is something that is rarely covered well here in the US. The Crimean War even less so, so I am pumped for a series on it! I actually read a manhwa recently (Korean style comic similar to manga) that had a lot of allagories to the Crimean War, specifically the MC being a reference to Florence Nightingale. It is an isekai with magic and modern weaponry, but it is a fun read and sort of got me into knowing about the Crimean War. It refered to it as Kremina I think, just to make it not as obvious, but it was a very fun read and made me start researching more on this topic. I can't wait to see what else I learn from the series here!
You know what the name of the series is?
@@Toonrick12 Yeah, I would like to know as well
8:17 Napoleon III didn't actually lose the election, he just wasn't allowed to run again due to the short term limits.
Never apologise for interrupting a history lesson in order to present ways to help people right now.
Yes, I appreciated that immensely 😊
Eh, if one was to list all the imemdiate issues costing human lives that needs fixing, then we would be here until our heads turned grey.
Altruism is arbitrary.
especially with the horrors going on right now....
Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Failure to act in the present when it's warranted, however, means that the future will have more lessons to learn.
To bad reality befuddles good faith attempts by humanity to genuinely help, those funds will be used as tax write offs for wealthy corporations, funds will be used inappropriately, and only a minor percentage will reach the humanitarian crisis, the majority will be embezzled or spent on military hardware to inflict more suffering, yay humans.

The Crimean war can't be called WW0. The 7 Years war already holds that title.
WW0.5?
So, instead of World War 0 for both, how about World War Alpha and War World Beta?
@@paulchapman8023 Napoleonic wars
@@explodethebomb Napoleonic wars cant be called WW0 because it was a war of muskets and cannons but not modern rifles and proper artillery
@@PEEWEYMINGMoe Neither did the 7 years war (which was before the Napoleonic) or the Crimean. The first "modern artillery" was invented in 1898
Only one thing I noticed as being wrong, the Tsar wasn't the head of the Russian orthodox church but the Russian Church was lead by a synod/council of Hierarchs and while supervised by the Tsar he wasn't seen as the head of the church.
"Suddenly a monk throws a punch" is a great moment of incidence for a story.
The Crimean War is remembered in Finland mostly for what happened in Åland, and Finnish folk songs are still sung about these events that say, "And the Åland War was terrible, when the English with their 300 ships sailed on the shores of Finland: and it was the mood of the enemy that they wanted to destroy the fort and take its military as prisoners; but the Finnish boys shot into the air, so that the walls of the fortress echoed and the shores of Åland were ringing." But in reality there were really only 100 ships, the English were not alone but friends with the French and the "terrible" war was over in three days because the Finnish soldiers surrendered, raised the Mercy Flag, opened the gates and were taken as prisoners of war for a year. But because they were the first Finns to board a steamship and a steam train, they were celebrated as great war heroes. In any case, this end result was later the beginning that led to the decision and demand to demilitarize Åland.
IIRC the original lyrics of the song described the struggles the Finns experienced as POWs, but post-independence this was replaced with a more jingoistic, overtly nationalistic verse.
It’s amazing how much of Russian history revolves around ’restoring past glory’- and everyone else’s expense
So true
consume consume consume don’t question don’t question don’t question fight amongst yourselves fights amongst yourselves fight amongst yourselves adhere to the preconceived narratives or else adhere to the preconceived narratives or else adhere to the preconceived narratives OR ELSE, citizens.
That's the "great russian culture" for you. Everything from Dostoyevsky to Tolstoy to Pushkin to Lermontov is literally about supporting colonization then a poor russian having soul searching over corpses of people he ax murdered (literally Crime and Punishment's story is glorifying a murderer because he is ACTUALLY A VICTIM somehow).
for much of history it did not have a "past glory" to restore tho? If anything it was more of a "current objective: survive" until like early 17th century
According to who ?
Your history,
You people forgot you sided with muslim, Russia could only free two or three christian country because of France and British.
Many christian countries will have to live as slave to muslim for centuries due to British and France wierd way of thinking
My great great grandfather died in the Crimean war fighting for the Brit’s. Thanks for making a video on the topic. ❤
The opening makes me think of a quote from Sam O'Nella about one of the napoleaonic wars.
"Never heard of it? Me Either. Who was in it? Fuckin everyone."
Hi Extra History, I'm glad you are talking about the Crimean war and you mentionned the ongoing events. One question: you talked in this first episode about the powers involved in the war. Are you going to mention in the next episodes that also the Kingdom of Sardinia joined on the side of France, UK and the Ottomans? They took part in the conflict not because they were interested in controlling the East, but because Cavour (the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, whom I hope you will talk about in a future series about the Unification of Italy) was looking for a powerful European ally who would help him against Austria for the Italian Unification (Cavour persuaded Napoleon III to become their ally and a few years later Cavour and the French Emperor would sign a secret treaty in Plombieres, France, without telling it to the Sardinian King Victor Emmanuel II and to the rest of Europe).
Surely this peninsula will never be fought about again...
Some of the bloodiest land in all of Europe
3:00 hey i remember that bit?
i commented last time "Oh i'm gonna take that ladder lol"
6:46 and the nickname became true. The ottomans were truly the Sick Man of Europe.
Although ironically the Russian Empire fell first😅😅😅😅
I was recently on school trip with my history teacher and classmates. When we went into a church of cetinje my protestant classmate went into that Orthodox church with rest of us orthodox Christians. I was so surprised seeing protestant in the orthodox church i almost passed out LOL

Been waiting a LONG time for thid series to come out. Thank you for making it. I have been excited ever since you mentioned it all the way back in Catherine the Greats Series.
I think this series has been on the bucket list since the original creators were making videos long before the transfer of ownership and Matt took over.
@@davidjackson6475 Yeah. Happy it's finally out
Not even mentioning the concert of europe is kinda goofy. It played such a big role in the "sick man of europe". The biggest reason why russia couldnt just take the ottomans was cause the other powers of europe would have to counterbalance aka attack russia to make sure they didnt upset the balance of europe
The weakness of the Ottomans in this period is almost unbelivable...
what's more fascinating is that it stood for more than 50 years afterwards
a Russian media company called star media actually did a documentary about this and did call it "world war 0" and its good to see you guys covering it as i love to see the things you bring up to the talks of this subject
keep the good work going and cant wait for the next episode
Though I totally agree, that star media isn't a place to find an unbiased retelling of history, I must argue, that this chanel isn't either. If you interessted in the topic, I would recommed to see videos from Real Time History, HistoryMarche or Jabzy.
@@redkraken6516 Any historian, even any history-interested person, worth their salt would immediately deny the claim that they were unbiased themselves. At least from HistoryMarche I remember them denying that claim, even while I would agree they do fine content.
@@Argacyan well, of course. The thing is a scale of that bias and scale at which it afects creators work. You can't be 100% unbiased, but your work can be more or less biased in comparison with others works.
Their Tzars series was really good. I've watched it several times.
@@redkraken6516 The concept of "unbiased history" is a nothing more than a joke
world war one I think should have been the Seven Years war as it was fought all over the world in 4 continents
Then what about the War of Spanish Succession? Technically started in 1701 and had fighting on 5 continents.
Nah, I think WW I is world war one :) I always considered it more important that there were armies from all over the World in World War One, like the Indian and Sikh Regiments, the ANZAC armies, the French African Legions and so forth, not forgetting the US and Japanese Army as forces from independent, not colonized nations. Battling on more than one continent is quite common for wars since antiquity e.g. the war of Alexander against the Persian Empire, the Punic Wars or in modern times the war of the spanish succession (1702-1715), which seems to me to be really the first war with global strategic choices like the french using the spanish silver resources in the new world...
FINALLY, I’ve been waiting for these guys to make a video series on this war, he goes so in depth on the beginning and end😊
Let's be honest. No regardless of curent events, the most responsible for the start of crrimean war was not Niklas, but Napoleon, as it was he who unilaterally decided to seize the rights to protect all christians in ottoman empire from russia. Haven't he done this, there wouldn't be reason for pan-european war.
But then russia invaded the ottoman empire, which was the agreed upon start of the war
@@adamach3776 Yes, in response to Napoleon's violations. Completely ignoring provocations and context, seens to be a trend here.

The seven years' war was the original world war zero in my opinion, but this conflict has a claim to it aswell. Thank you for making a video about this !!
I literally never knew that was how it began, crazy what is left out of even a fairly good history curriculum
Mexican war had pictures before Crimean war and Crimean war also had Sardinia helping out
I’ve been wanting a series on the Crimean War since the miniseries on Mary Seacole.
I'm always dazzled by how superb EH videos are. Simply first-class.
You guys should do a video about the War of the Triple Alliance, between Paraguay and several South American nations. It’s fairly similar to the great northern war and a cool story aswell.
I'd love to see that. Latin American history really doesn't get covered a lot in English language media.
as a catholic that intro just made me so sad. i wish people learned to worship together despite religious differences, and such a holy time overlapping like that should be so beautiful

Napoleon III was not crowned Emperor of France. He was crowned "Emperor of the French".
And he didn't lose an election in 1852, he "lost" a vote to change the constitution in 1851 which would have allowed him to run again for election (he got a majority but not the 2/3 needed).
Isn't that the same title that Napolean Bonaparte the first used
@@history-jovian Yep!
This must truly be the the earliest world war but I think their are older ones if you want to count that.
Tbh I only know two things about Crimean War:
- the most disastruos tactical miscommunication done by UK by picking the wrong place to fight
- Florence Nightingale aka "The Lady with the Lamp".
Ok guys, you have a MAJOR problem with Napoleon
In another episode about the war of 1870 that Napoleon III declared the war because his regime was impopular. It’s completly untrue : he won a major referundum in 1869
And no, he didn’t lost the élections of 1852 : he made his coup in 1851, before his presidential term ended because he couldn’t do another one
Bref, work better
0:34 average theologian debate on revelation be like
The Ottomans didn't refer to Palestine as Palestine, that was the British name for the place. This was all part of the functionally independent province of Syria in those days with most of the holy sites being in the functionally independent county of Jerusalem.
The name of Palestine is older than the Ottomans and the British together. Yes, over time it had other names such as Acre, Sanjak, and even Canaan, but Palestine was always a possible name.
@@abbasshachem3383 Yes, it goes back as far st the Bronze Age Collapse and the Philistine people, an ancient nation mentioned in the Bible and one of the Sea Peoples, mentioned also in ancient Egyptian sources as 'Peleset'.
Like a big vatican city
well considering this is an english speaking youtube channel and that most people will have a much better idea of where these religious conflicts were by saying Palestine instead of Syria, just calling it Palestine makes more scenes
I always prefer Judea given they were the most historically linked people to the land, the Romans making the name Palestine to hearken back to the Philistines the Judeans warred with for control after the diaspora. But if people argue it with me I'll go back to the original name, Canaan.

“A monk threw a punch” is a sentence I’ve never heard before
It’s very weird to see Tzar Nicholas I as a powerful charecter, he’s… not typically a particularly powerful ruler

“Guns Mr Nolan?”
“There! There my Lord! There is your enemy! There are your guns!!”

@@islammehmeov2334 or maybe they have a long history of acknowledging how mistakes are in all of their series.
And the Ottoman Empire at the time was much larger than Asia Minor
Not many channals can make a war not many heard and make it entertaining to learn about but this channal does it expertly
Are you sure Nicolas was as involved in these "Christian revolts" as your sources say? The Ottomans had a habit of blaming external enemies for their infighting. Like the time they blamed the Russians for a revolt among the Armenians even though the Russians were not even aware of the war until after the fact.
Man that ancient Comicon with the priests was nuts!
As a Canadian, I am rather angry about the Crimean War. Angry because some Royal Navy officer could not be bothered to get off his big fat arse and conquer Russian Alaska. Which had approximately zero defences and Russia certainly had no significant naval forces in the Pacific.
