Nulevaya Mirovaya (2017)

The war of 1853-1856 is often called the Crimean War. But the battle for Crimea was only an episode of that huge war. The confrontation of the Russian Empire with the combined forces of the allies - England, France, Turkey and the Sardinian kingdom - affected a vast territory: from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean. In fact, it was a war for world domination - a world war. What were the obvious and hidden reasons for the confrontation between the great powers which took place in the middle of the 19th century? How it all began and what place the Russian Empire ultimately occupied in the world political arena is described in this documentary.
