William Tyler
The Kosher Nostra, Part 1
Summary
The Allies - France, Britain, and tiny Piedmont - were drawn into the war for a variety of reasons in order to support The Ottoman Empire against Russia. The ostensible cause of the war was a row over Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, but there was far more at stake than that.
What can we make of this war today as Crimea is again caught up in conflict? What were (are?) the consequences of this war?
