Kokkolassa kyllä voitettiin jopa kaksi kertaa. Engelsmannit yrittivät maihinnousua viidellä soutuveneellä, ja tähän yritykseen vastattiin tulittamalla muutamalla hyljepyssyllä ja kahdella tykillä. Kokkolan keskustassa on vieläkin näytillä yksi sotasaaliiksi saatu maihinnousuvene.
@@kallesirvio2695 On luokkaretkelläkin käyty sielläpäin ja nähty. Mutta Krimin sota koski Venäjää, Ranskaa, Britanniaa, Italiaa yms. ja Ahvenanmaalta Mustalle merelle ja Tyynelle valtamerelle ja käytössä oli tuhansittain sotalaivoja, fregatteja jne. ja 650 000 kuoli, että eipä sillä sodan lopputuloksen kannalta juuri ole merkitystä miten käy parille soutuveneelle Kokkolan kaislikossa 😄
1853 - 1856 käyty sota ja Oollannin sota käsittää koko Itämerta koskevan taistelualueen! Tämä tunnetaan paremmin Krimin sotana ja päättyi Pariisin rauhaan 1856! Kokkolalaisten ansiosta meillä oli Venäjän vallan alla hieman paremmat oltavat, kuin muilla heidän kansalaisillaan! Kiitoksia kaikille kokkolalaisille!

So is the word "Engelsmanni". Is that Old Finnish, or is it Swedish back from a time when Finland was a Province of Sweden? I am learning Finnish and I know that theres worlds like englantilainen, englantilaisen, englantilaiset ect and many more probably, but I've never heard of the word Engelsmanni and it kinda sounds Swedish in decent. Any help would be much appreciated!
Old finnish, nationalities ending in -manni are very very rare and you won't find them in normal speech. There are some other ones too that follow this same naming convention like: -sakemanni(a german) -timpermanni(a carpenter) -normanni(a norse man, viking to be precise) -oltermanni(the oldest of the village, also a brand of cheese in finland) -gentlemanni(a gentleman) -jungmanni(a cabin boy) So there aren't very many of them and they are not part of your every day vocabulary so i wouldn't stress too much about it.
Engelsmanni is more of a slang today only old use it now days, just know that finns love use slangs for they daily lives, example: Espoon Keskus (center of espoo) is called centti or kepe. Or bus in finnish its bussi but in slang its dösä. So yeah good luck learning finnish!
The lyrics of this song are largely fictional and a Finnish illustration of the War of Åland. During the Crimean War a British-French navy sailed to the Gulf of Finland with an intention to embargo the Russian Empire. The lyrics particularly are inspired by the Battle of Bomarsund at Åland Island, but the real events were quite the opposite as described in this song. The Fortress Bomarsund was stormed, captured and blown up by the British-French troops. 2 000 Finnish soldiers were taken as prisoners of war and sent into captivity in France and England. The original lyrics were not found until the early 2000's - the original lyrics (Åland's War Song) were written by one or more Bomarsund defenders during the captivity in county town Lewes, East Sussex, UK. Fortress Bomarsund is currently in rubble and a tourist attraction.
It was a legendary war. The English navy sailed all the way to Oulu and burned warehouses full of tar. It just happens the tar was waiting to be shipped to the United Kingdom, and the British merchants had already paid it as well. The locals were thus watching, quite baffled, how the Britons burned their own tar. Although for fairness's sake, there was probably more than just their own included, and they burned other stuff as well.
