Was the Crimean War, which defeated the Ottoman Empire, the biggest war before World War I?

This problem is not easy to define, before the First World War, there are thousands of years of war history, such as the Mongolian Western Expedition may not be smaller than the scope of the First World War, the affected ethnic groups and numbers are smaller, and the war ** may not be less than the Second World War, if you want to refer to the modern hot weapon war, then Crimea may not be the largest, because the 7 anti-French coalition wars are also bigger than the other, if you see 7 as a war against the expansion of France, it is much more than the Crimean War... Including the scale of the American Civil War.

False, the Crimean War was a war between Britain and France against the Russian Empire. It was the biggest war before World War I, and historically, it was too difficult. If confined only to the 19th century, the Crimean War was the largest.

Yes, it was the first modern war, it was caused by religious problems, and the relations between the countries changed after the war, and Italy was formed after this war, and it was after this war, and it was the end of Russia's defeat, because the defeat of this war led Russia to capitalism, and it began to expand into the Far East, and it invaded a lot of our territory during the Opium War.

This scope is too large, and from the whole world, the war of the Mongols to destroy the Jin, the Song Dynasty, and the Khorezm is not small, and the death toll is even larger, of course, civilians. The largest in Europe should have been the Persian conquest of Greece.

1.There was no compulsory military service, but conscription, and there were few reserve troops, only 140,000 troops, with 22-25 years of military service.

2.Technology was backward, and serfdom reforms were not carried out.

3.The navy and army are lagging behind Britain and France.

Most of the equipment of the Turkish army was purchased from Britain and Germany, and most of them were obsolete goods from these countries. Ottoman military production was relatively backward.

In 1941-1942, it took the Germans 250 days to capture Sevastopol, which was bravely defended by the Soviet Red Army (see Battle of Sevastopol), and by 1944, the Soviet Red Army had liberated the city in only five days, and in a total of only 35 days, it destroyed the German fortifications in Crimea and smashed the German army group of nearly 200,000 men.

After the liberation of Crimea, the Soviet Red Army returned this important economic region to the embrace of the motherland. The Black Sea Fleet regained its main base, Sevastopol. The conditions for the attack on the Balkans and the liberation of the peoples of South-Eastern Europe became more favorable.

The Battle of the Crimea was characterized by well-organized coordinated actions between the army, the fleet and a large number of air forces, which largely determined the outcome of the complete defeat of the German army group. The Soviet Red Army Air Force flew more than 10,000 sorties, 60 percent of which were to support the army. Many units and corps of the Soviet Red Army were awarded honorary titles "Yevpatoria", "Kerch", "Perekop", "Sevastopol", "Sivashi", "Simferopol", "Feodosia", "Yalta" and others.

126 commanders and fighters were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Thousands of combat participants were awarded medals and medals.
