The Crimean War was fought far from its namesake peninsula in
Ukraine. Until now, accounts of Britain's and France's naval
campaigns against Czarist Russia in the Baltic, White Sea, and
Pacific have remained fragmented, minimized, or thinly-referenced.
This book considers each campaign from an imperial perspective
extending from South America to Finland. Ultimately, this
regionally-focused approach reveals that even the smallest
Anglo-French naval campaigns in the remote White Sea had
significant consequences in fields ranging from medical advances to
international maritime law. Considering the perspectives of neutral
powers including China, Japan, and Sweden-Norway, allows Rath to
examine the Crimean conflict's impact on major historical events
ranging from the 'opening' of Tokugawa Japan to Russia's annexation
of large swaths of Chinese territory. Complete with customized maps
and an extensive reference section, this will become essential
reading for a varied audience.
