Why did Shisui sacrifice himself? More importantly, why did he crush his eyes?

Is it because he wasn't strong enough to protect them from falling into the
wrong hands? What made him think that Itachi could stop the revolt even when
he knew he was stronger than Itachi?

Why did Shisui sacrifice himself?


According to the Story part related to it in the game "Naruto Shippuden :
Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution", and if I remember well :

Danzô wanted to steal Shisui's eyes to use their power to prevent the coup
d'etat from happening, because Shisui didn't want to use it against his own
clan. Danzô succeeded to steal one of Shisui's eyes, but Shisui managed to
escape just after. He knew Danzô would do everything to get the other eye, so
he chose to give it to Itachi (and so Danzô can't know where the 2nd eye is),
and as he had no eyes anymore, I guess he thought that living in these
conditions was meaningless and committed suicide.

I think it was made pretty clear when Itachi explains it to Naruto when he was
Edo Tensei. Itachi and Shisui both new a Civil War was on the cards since
Uchiha were plotting a Coup. Both having grown up in the era of great war
didn't want it to come to that. Shisui tried to use his Genjutsu prowess on
the village elders to stop the anhilation of Uchihas, but Danzo overpowered
him and stole his eye. Shisui managed to get away but lost an eye. He didn't
want any other power monger to get hold of his other Mangekyo Sharingan and
thus entrusted it to Itachi, because he knew he believed in the same ideals.
He left the village and faked his death.

On a smartphone. So will edit with proper citations of manga chapters later.
Please take a look at Wikia. It should explain it more clearly

Edit 1: For those convinced he commited suicide

> Shisui wrote a suicide note telling his clan he cannot follow through with
> the coup d'etat, but his clan's narrow mindedness made them unable to
> understand this, believing he would even sacrifice innocent lives for the
> sake of the Uchiha Clan. The contents of the suicide note also made it
> appear as though he had crushed his eyes when jumping off a cliff into the
> Naka River to kill himself in order to prevent conflict from arising over
> his eyes within the clan. He, at the same time, was able to erase his
> existence, leaving no corpse behind.

Edit 2: I am not sure whats wrong with people, but they do not want to do
their own research but will hold their beliefs and opinions as hard facts. I
am open to different interpretations of said facts BUT don't refute the facts.
[Here is the anime clip of Shisui giving his eye to
Itachi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYwRU3B0Q7o) (Not that itachi killed
him and took his eye)

Shisui was actually poisoned by Danzo. In terms of strength Danzo would stand
no chance against Shisui if it came down to a 1 on 1 battle.
