I will keep it in mind in case I ever feel a burning interest in the Crimean War!
I've heard pretty much every war between the Crimean War and World War I described as "the first modern war." The Civil War! The Boer War! The Spanish-American War! Someone has probably said this about the Franco-Prussian war, and I just haven't run into it yet. Clearly the weaponry/tactics were developing in that direction.
