Summary
SCANMOM digitises previously inaccessible sources on the Crimean War (1853–1856). By bringing together Scandinavian, Russian, and European materials, it builds a unique open database that reveals both great-power politics and small-state strategies. This resource provides new insights into nationalism, war, and security in the 19th century, while also illuminating striking parallels to today.
