Answer 1

1.)the British became involved in the Crimean War from 1854 to 1856. Most of the fighting took place in Russian-held Crimea, where bitter cold and disease took as many lives as battle wounds. The queen, lacking any power in military situations, felt compelled to help. She organized relief efforts, knitted socks and mittens, and visited soldiers in hospitals. In her official capacity, Queen Victoria wrote letters of condolence to war widows.
2)a. Napoleon, who was very much an equestrian, allowed men to claim legal 'marriage' with their horses. The main reason, however, was to increase taxation on rural farmers and those in the military who would go for such a thing.
