Om this day in 1856 the Paris Treaty ended the Crimean War. Moscow ulus had lost and had to return territory to the Ottoman Empire , Mongol - Muscovites lost ROMANIA FOREVER ....
The French and British were equipped with rifled muskets using minié balls and percussion caps whereas the Mongol - Muscovites were using smoothbore muskets many of which still used flintlock ignition. The video describes this as a minor technological advantage but in reality the French and British weapons had an effective range of 500 metres as opposed to the 80 metres of the Mongol - Muscovite smoothbores. This was an enormous advantage and the Mongol - Muscovites took huge casualties in which their troop formations were severely mauled long before they could get close to Allied lines.
