The Crimean War in the view of the layman looks something like this. Just the other day I talked with a friend, I retell his words as I remember:
The British and French attacked the Crimea, Russia then lagged behind in technical development, the Russians had wooden sailing ships and the British had steamships. Realizing that with obsolete ships they would not be able to give a worthy rebuff to the enemy, the Russians blocked the entrance to the bay of Sevastopol, flooding the ships, the idea was as follows - the masts would not allow enemy ships to pass.
Naturally, the Russians were far from stupid and previously removed bronze cannons from the ships and reinforced the coastal batteries with them.
At first glance, it sounds logical, but several things surprise me in this story at once:
Why sink warships?
How can you sink, that is, lay wooden ships on the bottom of the bay?
Did they pour sand and stones into the hold?
How many ships do you need to sink to block the bay?
Can wooden masts sticking out of the water damage a ship's hull?
You can answer these questions in the comments.
We begin to understand this war. At first we can say that apparently the first half of the 19th century was copied from the second half of the 19th century.
The events that took place around Napoleon 1 are copied from the events taking place around Napoleon 3.
The events around the war of 1812 are copied from the Crimean war of 1853-1856.
There are several oddities in this war:
there are no clouds in almost all photos from Crimea, everything above the ground has a solid background. As if there was something in the sky that should not be shown, and the sky was retouched.What was there in the sky was found, more on that later.
The next oddity is the consequences of firing cannonballs filled with gunpowder. Dynamite had not yet been officially invented at that time; Nobel would invent it in 1867.
The outskirts of Sevastopol look like weapons of mass destruction were used there. Scorched, deserted land, to the horizon there is not a tree, a bush, or grass. Sevastopol itself looks like it was bombed with much more serious weapons than cannonballs.
Fans of official history will say that this is all the result of shelling with cannonballs. True, there is a small nuance - cast-iron cores do not cause serious harm to stone buildings, they are more suitable for the destruction of wood products, and for enemy manpower.
Do not forget that the shelling was allegedly carried out from ships with limited ammunition. This circumstance prescribes saving ammunition. Knowing that cannons do not damage buildings, no one will endlessly fire cannons at houses, they will shoot at enemy manpower.
To this argument, skeptics argue that the cannons hit the squares!
That is, they fired cannonballs from cannons without simply aiming towards the city! The question for the most acute, how quickly will the ammunition on the ships run out in this case? And what will be the effectiveness of this venture?
Here we were photographed in the Sevastopol Bay by two enemy ships Conqueror and Duke of wellington, and these are not steamships, but ordinary sailing ships. Apparently, blocking the bay of Sevastopol did not help, or the flooding of the entrance to the bay of Sevastopol with wooden ships is an invention of historians.But the sunken Russian ships, this is a question about backwardness
I must say that these ships of the mid-19th century look exactly the same as the Spanish Galleons from the time of the Spanish colonization of the 15th century. Back in 1492, the Spaniards colonized the Antilles on exactly the same ships. Moreover, both in the 19th century and in the 15th century, the ships were armed with single bronze cannons.
If we take official history at face value, then it turns out that no development has occurred in 361 years.
And what do other facts, such as coins, say? Mexico was a colony of Spain and Mexican silver dollars were in circulation in the USA, Canada, Japan until the end of the 19th century.
In China, Mexican silver dollars went until the 30s of the 20th century.
Judging by the coins, the era of Spanish world domination was not in the distant 16-17 centuries, but much closer to the 19th century.
If I express the version from independent researchers that weapons of mass destruction were used in Sevastopol, then the majority will twist a finger at their temples. After all, everyone knows from somewhere that “there was nothing like this” before.
In the same historical period, in the middle of the 19th century, 2 forts Sumter and Bomorsund were blown up.
Officially, Fort Sumter was bombarded by English and French ships in 1861, and these horrific consequences were supposedly the result of hitting cast-iron cannonballs filled with gunpowder.
Looking at what is left of the fort, I come to the version that it was destroyed by a powerful explosion from the inside. The thick brick walls have been destroyed and reduced to rubble.
