The Siege of Sebastopol is the main episode of the Crimean War. It lasted eleven months, from October 9, 1854 to September 11, 1855. Historians called it as “Crimean war” since the war’s most famous battles took place in Crimean Peninsula.
In September 1854, allied troops (British, French, Ottoman and Sardinian) reached the Crimea and began the siege of Sevastopol, the home base of the Russian Imperial Navy on the Black Sea whose fleet threatened the Mediterranean Sea. The siege ended with the fall of Fort Malakoff and the victory of the allies, at the cost of considerable losses on both sides.
