What was the outcome of the Charge of the Light Brigade?

Complete success
Strategic withdrawal
Heavy casualties
Stalemate

Answer

The Charge of the Light Brigade resulted in heavy casualties, as the British cavalry made a valiant but ill-fated attack against Russian artillery during the Crimean War in 1854. Despite their bravery, the poorly executed charge led to significant losses among the British forces, immortalized in the famous poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
