It created a heroic myth out of the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade and, in Florence Nightingale, it produced one of history's great heroes. The war was a watershed in world history and pointed the way to what mass warfare would be like in the twentieth century. New weapons were introduced; trench combat became a fact of daily warfare outside Sebastopol; medical innovation saved countless soldiers' lives that would otherwise have been lost. Ultimately, by failing to solve the Eastern Question, the war paved the way for the greater conflagration which broke out in 1914 and greatly prefigured the current situation in Eastern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781403964168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.08w x 1.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/07\/2004 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Trevor Royle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44087212671157,"sku":"9781403964168","price":32.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6f54b422-0e85-482c-a734-0fb2e4233309.jpg?v=1714456070","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/crimea-the-great-crimean-war-1854-1856-9781403964168","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
