Reference: The Crimean War (1853-1856) was a military conflict between the Russian Empire and a coalition of the Ottoman Empire, Great Britain, France, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. The war was caused by the rivalry of the great powers for control of the Balkans and the straits connecting the Black Sea with the Mediterranean. The war ended in Russia's defeat, which was cemented by the Treaty of Paris in 1856.
