Crimea River

Hello, history lovers!

The latest entry in Lord Likely's journals are especially fascinating for me and my fellow historians. For the first time, we see large-scale historical events outside of Likely's usual experiences take an influence upon his life.

The Crimean War (1853-1856) was an especially brutal war, and was said to usher in the modern style of conflict that we still enjoy today. (Is 'enjoy' the right word here?) It's impact politically, socially and culturally was far-reaching, and it is truly very interesting to see how Lord Likely himself was affected.

For further reading on the Crimean War, may I suggest a visit to The Crimean War Research Society. A fine resource for anyone fascinated by this awful war.

Tell 'em Julian sent you!
