| Summary/Abstract |
AMERICAN AUTHOR Anne O'Hare McCormick (1880-1954), whose life experience was interwoven with both world wars, packaged into a single phrase the lessons to be derived from the tumultuous epochs when she famously wrote: "Today the real test of power is not capacity to make war but the capacity to prevent it."

| Summary/Abstract |
Few countries in the world have the tradition of maintaining and sustaining a mighty military. Since the time of Peter the Great, Russia has an established military tradition of a great power. With the tide of time it has fought many wars; won some and lost others, but the tradition is transcendental and continues to inspire young Russians in the ethos of their military generals. The war with Napoleon in 1812, the Crimean War of the early 1850s, the Russo- Japanese war of 1905, the First World War of 1914-1918 and the Second World War of 1939-1945 are few of them.

| Summary/Abstract |
In October 1853, a war erupted between the Russian and the Ottoman empires, which became the celebrated Crimean War in the following year. The Danubian theatre, one of the crucial scenes of the war, witnessed both belligerents trying to discover the other's activities and planned operations. As they were inhabited by cosmopolitan and heterogeneous populations, Dobruca (Dobruja) and Bessarabia were the most convenient places for both parties to gather military intelligence. The Ottomans acquired information via the Wallachians and the Cossacks, as well as by diplomatic missions and various merchants. The Ottoman Empire's Orthodox Christian subjects - the Bulgarians and Greeks - assisted Russia in gathering information from the right bank of the Danube. Some of these reports were unreliable, as were the spies themselves. The Russian and Ottoman archives have rich resources related to military intelligence, which is an understudied aspect of the Crimean War. Relying upon the archival sources, this paper aims to discuss an entirely ignored topic: the espionage activities in the Balkan theatre during the Crimean War.

| Summary/Abstract |
When the Crimean War, which pitted Russia against Turkey, Britain, and France, erupted in the mid-nineteenth century, the Southern section (the states of the future Confederacy) of the United States followed the battles and military maneuvers of the conflict intently. Generals, heroes, and tactics of all the belligerents were subjects of speculation. Poems, parodies, and articles were rife in Southern newspapers about the war. The South bemoaned what it considered a lack of action, and enjoyed comparing it with America's previous war, naturally to the advantage of the U.S. As the war ran its course, the bulk of Southern sympathy lay with the Russians, possibly because of a similar labor system-serfdom in Russia and slavery in the South. The heroic stand of Sebastopol, the last great Russian bastion, was lauded by the South and, when it finally fell, its loss was bemoaned. Not only the South, but all America was interested in the war and future Civil War Northern generals McClellan and Hallack, along with other military personnel, were sent to the Crimea as observers.
