Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia encyclopedia
Template:Infobox Military Conflict Template:Campaignbox Crimean War La Battaglia di Malakoff, durante la guerra di Crimea fu combattuta fra le armate francesi e russe il 7 settembre 1855 nel corso dell'assedio di Sebstopoli. It resulted in an allied French victory under General MacMahon and in the killing of all major Russian admirals: Pavel Nakhimov, Vladimir Istomin, and Vladimir Kornilov. The French zouave Eugène Libaut installed the French flag on the top of the Russian Redoubt.
This allied victory brought about the capture of Sevastopol, after one of the most memorable sieges of the 19th century, winning the Crimean War for the Western Allies (United Kingdom, France, the Ottoman Empire (to some extent), and Piedmont-Sardinia).
