The History of Zouaves - France in the Crimean War and the Pont de l'Alma

[Litwin]

The Crimean war is an ill remembered conflict thank you for remembering. God Save the Queen
Do not forget that the zouaves owe their name to a tribe, the zouaras who very quickly pledged allegiance to the French in 1830 during the capture of Algiers. It was decided to create two battalions with these Muslim Tirbal soldiers and a Turkish-inspired uniform.The zouaves were quickly composed only of non-Muslim Frenchmen and the tribal warriors were poured into the Algerian skirmishers. Alongside the Zouaves, you also had the Turcos, in a different uniform (blue-gray) in fact Algerian skirmishers made up of native Muslims.The zouaves were recruted in the infamous neighborhoods and the cut-throats of Paris !

The Crimean War (1853–1856) was a game-changing moment in World history.
It accelerated the collapse of the Moscow Empire , whose rulers inherited a Mongol-style system of absolute power and peasant slavery (serfdom).
Defeat in Crimea forced Muscovy’s rulers to liberate millions of serfs in 1861, unleashing massive city growth, modernization — but also irreversible instability.

Weakened and desperate for funds, the Moscow Empire sold Alaska to the United States in 1867.
That’s why Americans should care more about the Crimean War: it changed their map too.

dont you think that Its time to act , and its time for Moscow empire to FOUND OUT ? As I said many times here : 'Decolonization of Moscow empire is the only way to end its imperialism', And I don’t mean Putin´s imperialism, but Moscow imperialism in general , from Solzhenitsyn and Brodsky to Navalny and Dugin.
