Alfred Tennyson- reading aids!

So, what is this laureate? My memory always miss on that- So, the doc Google says: "a person who is honored with an award for outstanding creative or intellectual achievement." Well, I am studying Tennyson- who is dictated as poet laureate!

Another query that rises is that could we call him a national poet?

Well, yes I suppose because his poetical tendency begins where the mark of social conditions of England begin. He indeed fixed for the future generations the essence and the spirits of his age.

Another query, what is Cremian war?

 The Crimean War, also known in Russian historiography as the EasternWar of 1853–1856 (October 1853 – February 1856), was a conflict in which Russia lost to an alliance of France, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia.

 Sardina- what is that?

And if that is what refers to Crimean war, then what does 2^nd world war refers to. Sorry, I am weak in that subject :3 ..
