Today in Labor History March 30, 1856: The Treaty of Paris was signed, ending the Crimean War, between Russia and the victorious Ottoman Empire (allied with the UK, France and Sardinia-Piedmont). The flashpoint was a conflict over the rights of Christian minorities in Ottoman-controlled Palestine, and control of its holy sites.
The Crimean War was one of the first to utilize modern armaments, like explosive shells, railways and telegraphs. Much of these armaments came from Alfred Nobel’s family armament factory. It was also a particularly deadly war. Around 670,000 soldiers died in only four years, the majority from preventable infectious diseases (e.g., typhus, typhoid, cholera, and dysentery), not from battle wounds. Mortality rates for soldiers were 23-31%, compared with U.S. troop mortality rates of only 2% during the Vietnam War.
In the aftermath of the Crimean War, Russia sold Alaska to the U.S. out of fear that the UK would simply take it from them in their weakened military state. The last living veteran of the Crimean war was a Greek tortoise, named Timothy, who had served as a ship’s mascot during the war. He died in 2004, nearly 150 years after the war ended. Despite their victory, the Ottomans gained no new territory, and the war nearly bankrupted them, contributing to their decline as a super power. The Crimean War also helped forge the alliances and grievances that would lead to the First World War.

Did you know that Germans were once obsessed with #Greece?
In 1821, Greece was fighting for #independence from the #Ottoman #Empire & a bunch of Germans started "philhellenic" organizations.
Classically educated Germans learned Greek, & some even joined the fight.
Ludwig I. King of #Bavaria, a philhellene, went so far as to change the kingdom's name from "Baiern" to "#Bayern" - as the 'y' was "more Greek".
Lord Byron, Sissi, #Goethe, #Schiller, #Nietzsche & #Hitler were known philhellenes.

"The Balkan Wars marked the end of #Ottoman rule in Southeastern #Europe and they involved several countries that would join the First World War just a few years later. A complicated alliance between #Serbia, #Montenegro, #Bulgaria and #Greece imploded over disagreement of the war spoils after defeating the Ottomans. This led to the 2nd Balkan War and also created much resentment that would play a role between 1914 and 1918"

The Mangaka of Ottoman announced that it'll get an English release, as well as an Italian, Thai and Korean one. I'm very excited about this news. The Manga was sadly canceled but it's still one of my favorite action titles with a romance focus. I hope it'll get its deserved hype with the international release and... maybe a comeback. #Manga #Ottoman
