The Russians invade Moldavia and Wallachia (in modern day Romania) and destroy the Ottoman Black Sea fleet at Sinop. Under public pressure, the French and British governments, concerned about growing Russian power, decide to send in troops to force the invaders to retreat. Seeking to neutralise the Russian threat in the Black Sea and Mediterranean, the Allies decide to invade Crimea. One of several early skirmishes was the famous 'charge of the light brigade'}www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic composed by Frederich ChopinPicture - British cavalry charging against Russian forces at Balaclava Hosted on Acast.
