Some revision notes from my A level History. I hope it helps somebody with their history revision. I made some points on The Crimean war which made it easier to memorize and learn.

2. It was a monumental error in army leadership.
• Tragic waste of life
• 113 killed, 134 wounded, 45 taken prisoner
• The blunder redeemed the recognition of
the brave soldier.The media sided with the
soldiers
• Lord Cardigan; perceived as a hero as he led
charge
• Lord Lucan; received blame for charge but
died during
• Lord Raglan; was blamed for the
misunderstood information that led to the
blunder.
• This infamous event was cased by lack of
organisation and uncreative tactical
organisation.

8. Mary Seacole
• Nurse of Jamaican origin
• British officers rejected her
offer of assistance therefore
she independent went to
Crimea
• Set up Seacole and Day Inn
near the front line in Balaclava.
• Nursed and provided care for
soldiers in return for a small
fee.
• Her popularity was ignored by
the media due to her
background

10. 52% death rate
went down to 5.2%
