     Extractions: John Sloan TRANSLATE THIS PAGE This site is devoted to the history of Crimea. Here we have added the article on Crimea from the great 11th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica published in 1910. It obviously is dated now, but actually gives a better flavor of what Crimea was like in the 19th century, not long after the Crimean War, than a recent article would. Crimea We are adding the encyclopedia articles on individual topics such as Bospor, Chersonesus, Scythia, Khazars, and the like. We will show selected photos taken during visits to Sevastopol and surrounding region in 1992, 1993, and 1997. For convenience we have divided the material into the subject categories listed below.

103. John Bright
     Quaker, who was opposed to the aggressive foreign policy of Lord Palmerston and campaigned against the crimean war. He was also totally opposed to slavery and a supporter of Abraham Lincoln. (18111889)  
     http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/PRbright.htm
     
     Extractions: John Bright , the son of Jacob Bright, a self-made and successful cotton manufacturer, was born in Rochdale on 16th November, 1811. Jacob was deeply religious and sent John to Quaker schools in Lancashire and Yorkshire. This Quaker education helped to develop in Bright a passionate commitment to political and religious equality.

104. The Crimean War
     Discussion which focuses on the diplomatic manoeuvres that preceded the war and its lasting effect on European politics.

     Extractions: Diplomatic Prelude As he had on other occasions, Nicholas I tried again in 1853 to get an understanding with England about the position of Turkey and to prevent a rapprochement between England and France. The Russians would not tolerate the establishment of the English in Constantinople, but did not want to annex the city either. Temporary occupation by Russia might, however, be necessary to secure Russia's aim of finally getting secure outlet from the Black Sea. In discussions with Foreign Minister Russell of Britain Russia suggested an independent Moldavia and Wallachia, a Serbia under Russian protection, and an independent Bulgaria. The English were to get Egypt and Crete. The Austrians could establish themselves on the Adriatic. Russell rejected the "offer" and said that France would have to be consulted on the matter. Nicholas I, however, was under the erroneous impression that some sort of "new system" existed as a result of Nesselrode's Memorandum of 1844, which had suggested a arrangement with regard to the Straits. This particular memorandum and the substance of the current diplomatic conversations with British Ambassador Seymour in St. Petersburg were published by Britain and touted as proof that "dark ambitions of a foreign despot" were endangering the peace of Europe. The Franco-Russian dispute over the holy places in Palestine was the immediate cause of the Crimean War. At the time Turkey controlled Palestine, Egypt, and large chunks of the Middle East. The Port (Moslem ruler of Turkey) had given privileges to protect the Christians and their churches in the Holy Land to many nations. That explains why so many different churches and nationals control various holy shrines in Israel to this very day. At the time France and England had gotten more specific commitments from the Port than other nations.

     Extractions: The British in India, Ceylon and Burma The British, by and large, thought of themselves as moral in addition to economically opportunistic. They had the world's most advanced economy and were the world's foremost commercial power, creating for themselves greater economic opportunity. They had become the world's foremost trader across oceans and the world's foremost naval power. The British were largely devoted to freedom in economic enterprise rather than government-owned and directed enterprise. This was a part of their liberalism. On the western coast of India, Britain's East India Company held the island of Bombay which had been a desolate place that Britain's Charles II (1630-85) had acquired when he married a Portuguese princess. The company was also established in the Indian province of Madras , and it had a trading center at Masulipatam (Machilipatam). But the base in India for the East India Company was on the eastern side of the sub-continent, at

111. Mary Jane Seacole
     Brief biography of a Jamaican nurse and heroine of the crimean war.  
     http://www.distinguishedwomen.com/biographies/seacole-mj.html
     
     Extractions: First Page Name Index Subject Index Related Sites ... Search Mary Jane Seacole Mary Jane Seacole was a Jamaican nurse and a heroine of the Crimean War. She was born Mary Grant in 1805 in Kingston, Jamaica. Her father was a Scottish military officer and her mother a Jamaican mulatto. Mary's mother was also a healer and ran a boardinghouse for the recuperating officers. In 1836, Mary married Edward Seacole. Together they traveled around the Caribbean and Central America, but her husband died shortly afterwards and Mary returned to Kingston where she took over the running of the boardinghouse after her mother's death. Mary was well educated and she was a skilled nurse. When the Crimean War broke out, she traveled to London and applied to go to Crimea to tend to the wounded soldiers but she was not granted an interview by the British War Office. She then applied to Elizabeth Herbert, the wife of the secretary of state for war who was recruiting nurses for the war effort, but was again denied an interview and after some time received a letter of rejection. Britain, apparently, was not ready to welcome a black nurse. Undaunted, Mary went on her own initiative and in 1856 established the British Hotel near Balaclava at her own expense in order to provide "a mess-table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers". She often went to the battlefield to attend to the wounded there. After the war, Mary Seacole was bankrupt, but her story was carried by the British press and money was raised by subscriptions to pay off her debts.
