Patriotic theater, Crimean war, African warAbstract
In 1854-55, France belonged to a coalition fighting the tsarist Russia in Crimea and actively participated in the conflict which ended with the victory of the allies and the fall of Sevastopol. Even if Spain did not really entered the conflict, a few members of its armed forces went there, either because they had asked for (and got) a leave or because they had been designated to be part of an observation commission financed by the government, as happened for example to General Prim. In this context, the Crimean war apparently worked as a sort of experiment for the different strategies, in politics as well as in texts, that the different participants in the Spanish-Moroccan war used five years later. Among them, General Prim who did his best to be in the limelight in the African war and get a very personal benefit from his command. The numerous links that can be found between both wars are echoed in the patriotic theatre aimed at glorifying them, making the Crimean and the African wars much closer conflicts and scenes than could have been thought first.Downloads
