The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was primarily sparked by tensions between Russia and an alliance of France, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia. The immediate cause was a dispute over the rights of Christian minorities in the Holy Land, specifically in Jerusalem. Russia's desire to expand its influence over the declining Ottoman Empire and assert its dominance in the region further escalated the conflict, leading to war after Russia invaded the Ottoman territories. The war highlighted the complexities of European alliances and the shifting balance of power.
