The ethnicity of the Crimean Tatars is quite complex as it absorbed both nomadic Turkic and European components (in the first place, the Goths and the Genoese) which is still reflected in their apperance and language differences.
Crimean Tatars had to flee from their homeland en masse, forced by the conditions created by the war, persecution and land expropriations.
In 1967, the Crimean Tatars were rehabilitated, but they were banned from legally returning to their homeland until the last days of the Soviet Union.

 Crimean Khanate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crimean Khanate or the Khanate of Crimea (Crimean Tatar: Qırım Hanlığı; Russian: Крымское ханство - Krymskoye khanstvo; Ukrainian: Кримське ханство - Kryms'ke khanstvo; Turkish: Kırım Hanlığı) was a Crimean Tatar state from 1441 to 1783.
In the 16th century the Crimean khanate pretended to be the successor authority of the former Golden Horde territory, Ulugh Yurt and hence over the Mongol khanates of Caspian-Volga region, particularly the Kazan Khanate and Astrakhan Khanate.
The campaigns by Crimean forces could be divided into "sefers" - officially declared military operations led by the khans themselves, and "çapuls" - raids undertaken by separate groups of noblemen (sometimes illegal and banned because of coming in contradiction with the treaties concluded by the khans with the neighbor rulers).

 Turco-Ukrainian Relations and the Crimean Tatars
Throughout the consecutive crisis and tension in the Crimea since 1991, stemming from the efforts of Russian separatism, the Crimean Tatars proved to be the sole organized and substantial local force in the Crimea who have been determined to defend that the peninsula belonged to the Republic of Ukraine.
The plight of the Crimean Tatars, culminating in their mass deportation from the Crimea and their decades long assiduous struggle against the Soviet regime (and against the local Crimean authorities in the post-Soviet period) has also attracted a great deal of sympathetic attention in the Turkish public.
The great deal of attention which the plight of the Crimean Tatars has attracted on the part of both the Turkish public and government was noted by the Ukrainian leadership, which has taken pains to demonstrate its support for the return of the Crimean Tatars to their homeland and their reintegration into local life.

 The Deportation and Fate of the Crimean Tatars
Stalin's policies killed tens of thousands of Crimean Tatars, deprived the entire nation of its homeland and cultural foundations for over half a century, and sought to completely eliminate them as a culturally distinct people.
The huge loss of lives among the Crimean Tatars due to the deportations inevitably raises the question of genocide.The United Nations Treaty on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide defines genocide in Article II.
It is thus not surprising that a large percentage of the Crimean Tatars perished in exile from causes directly related to these deficiencies.

The mid-19th-century Crimean War, pitting England, France, and less powerful allies against Russia, was one of the first major international wars in history.
As Trevor Royle writes in his sweeping study of the conflict, "it encompassed maladministration on a grand scale and human suffering, if not without parallel then at least minutely recorded by the watching war correspondents"--the war being the first as well to have been widely reported.
Faintly understood, the Crimean War--which pitted Britain and France with the Ottoman Empire against Russia--was the war that made Florence Nightingale famous.

 Prints & Photographs Online Catalog - Fenton Crimean War Photographs - About - Background and Scope
The Crimean War (1853-1856) was fought primarily on the southern tip of the Crimea, a peninsula extending into the Black Sea, barely connected to Ukraine.
One could easily suggest that the Crimean War resulted from many misplayed hands due to poor decisions based on shifting allegiances and insufficient understanding of the different motives of each nation.
The vivid, though understated, reality of war presented in the photographs may have led to a negative reaction by the viewing public, which ignored the aesthetic and technical qualities inherent in the photographs.
