Interesting parallel between Polands 1863 rebellion and - TopicsExpress



          

Interesting parallel between Polands 1863 rebellion and contemporary Ukraine, the one shortfall is the passing reference to the Crimean war: France and Britain fought Russia from 1854 to 1856 in a war to defend European Turkey, that war only ended when Austria Hungary declared war on Russia; there was no way a British gov led by Lord Palmerston and the 2d French Empire (Napoleon III) were going to support a Polish independence movement, much as I would have liked them to, we should have revolted in 1855. Oh well.
