Explanation

Florence Nightingale gained fame for her pioneering nursing work during the Crimean War (1853-1856), where she improved sanitary conditions and dramatically reduced mortality rates. She became known as 'The Lady with the Lamp' for her night rounds caring for wounded soldiers. World Wars I and II occurred much later (1914-1918 and 1939-1945).
