The superficial issue leading to the Crimean War (October 1853-February 1856) was religious, but it was soon overshadowed by European big-power politics.
The immediate cause was a dispute over the rights of Christian minority groups in the Holy Land, which was controlled by the Ottoman Empire. The French supported the Roman Catholics, while the Russians supported Orthodox Christians. After the Ottoman Turks declared war on Russia, the two countries fought a naval battle, which the Russian won decisively. At that point, the Russians invaded Turkey, so England, France, and Sardinia declared war on Russia, as they were unwilling to see Russia remain in Turkish territory.
