Since Hawaii is an island the introduction of new species can completely decimate an entire ecosystem. Which is exactly what happened when William Herbert Purvis introduced the mongoose to the islands. Contributing to Hawaii becoming the extinction capital of the world.

The Russians are on the attack trying to take over the black sea but this battle has a new front to defend. The ruthless views and sway of the media, as newspapers mock British commanders and drum up nationalistic fervor.

The Russians aren't concerned with the British, French, and Ottoman troops heading toward the Crimean shores. They've fortified the river with cannons and even invited guests to watch the fight but the Battle of the Alma and its aftermath will surprise everyone.

The Russians threaten to cut off supply lines to Sevastopol and the Allied forces have taken up a final defensive line in front of the port of Balaklava. The thin red line holds against the calvary but it was a charge of the Light Brigade that will capture the hearts and impact the minds of the soldiers on the battlefield.

The siege of Sevastopol is in full swing but the Crimean War is becoming evermore unpopular in the public eye. Journalists are reporting on army scandals and starving troops and the military fights back with propaganda! Sending out a photographer to take patriotic photos of the conflict.
