I didn’t know the #Sardinians had anything to do with the Crimean War until today, but apparently they sent troops too.

And also a Russian general named Khrulev proposed blowing up the city of Sevastopol and then doing a mass suicide charge into the allied positions, with the attitude of “Let everybody die! We will leave our mark upon the map!”

@GrittyLipids @histodons "Sardinians" is a big word. Actually the State was named Kingdom of Sardinia, but the crown and the army were Savoyard.

We're innocent, judge!
