But how much do you know about the first confrontation along the Danube or the fierce fight to take Sevastopol? In this second episode of this new series charting the key moments in the Crimean War, Professor Andrew Lambert talks to Rachel Dinning about the key battles and encounters that shaped the conflict, as well as the military strategy that informed its outcome.<span data-sheets-value=\"'{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Big\" questions=\"\" of=\"\" the=\"\" crimean=\"\" war:=\"\" into=\"\" valley=\"\" death=\"\" andrew=\"\" lambert=\"\" traces=\"\" key=\"\" battles=\"\" and=\"\" encounters=\"\" that=\"\" shaped=\"\" war=\"\" may=\"\" be=\"\" familiar=\"\" with=\"\" alfred=\"\" lord=\"\" tennyson=\"\" poem=\"\" charge=\"\" light=\"\" brigade=\"\" which=\"\" famously=\"\" though=\"\" not=\"\" entirely=\"\" accurately=\"\" describes=\"\" events=\"\" battle=\"\" balaclava=\"\" a=\"\" clash=\"\" in=\"\" war.=\"\" but=\"\" how=\"\" much=\"\" do=\"\" you=\"\" know=\"\" about=\"\" first=\"\" confrontation=\"\" along=\"\" danube=\"\" or=\"\" fierce=\"\" fight=\"\" to=\"\" take=\"\" sevastopol=\"\" this=\"\" second=\"\" episode=\"\" new=\"\" series=\"\" charting=\"\" moments=\"\" professor=\"\" talks=\"\" rachel=\"\" dinning=\"\" conflict=\"\" as=\"\" well=\"\" military=\"\" strategy=\"\" informed=\"\" its=\"\" outcome.=\"\" historyextra=\"\" podcast=\"\" is=\"\" produced=\"\" by=\"\" team=\"\" behind=\"\" bbc=\"\" history=\"\" magazine=\"\" revealed.=\"\" data-sheets-userformat=\"'{&quot;2&quot;:513,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0}'\"><br\/><\/span><\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"&quot;wp-audio-shortcode&quot;\" id=\"&quot;audio-235254-1&quot;\" preload=\"&quot;none&quot;\" style=\"&quot;width:\" controls=\"&quot;controls&quot;\"><source type=\"&quot;audio\/mpeg&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/media.immediate.co.uk\/volatile\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/bigquestionsofthecrimeanwarintothevalleyofdeath-aebe47c.mp3?_=1&quot;\"\/><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/media.immediate.co.uk\/volatile\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/bigquestionsofthecrimeanwarintothevalleyofdeath-aebe47c.mp3&quot;\">https:\/\/media.immediate.co.uk\/volatile\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/bigquestionsofthecrimeanwarintothevalleyofdeath-aebe47c.mp3<\/a><\/audio> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Professor Andrew Lambert traces the key battles and encounters that shaped the Crimean War <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":26584,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"< 1"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/07\/big-questions-of-the-crimean-war-into-the-valley-of-death.jpg",620,413,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/07\/big-questions-of-the-crimean-war-into-the-valley-of-death-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/07\/big-questions-of-the-crimean-war-into-the-valley-of-death-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/07\/big-questions-of-the-crimean-war-into-the-valley-of-death.jpg",620,413,false],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/07\/big-questions-of-the-crimean-war-into-the-valley-of-death.jpg",620,413,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/07\/big-questions-of-the-crimean-war-into-the-valley-of-death.jpg",620,413,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/07\/big-questions-of-the-crimean-war-into-the-valley-of-death.jpg",620,413,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Professor Andrew Lambert traces the key battles and encounters that shaped the Crimean War","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/26583"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbchistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
