The Crimean War (August 1848 – September 1852) was a conflict between the Russian Empire, the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Sardinia, and an alliance of the French and the Ottoman Empire. The war was part of a long-running contest between the major European powers for influence over territories of the declining Ottoman Empire and to challenge the influence of European powers.
