Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Crimean War (1853-1856) was a major conflict between Russia on one side and an alliance of Great Britain, France, Sardinia, and the Ottoman Empire on the other. Russia's defeat in the war exposed its technological and economic backwardness compared to the Western powers and prompted a push for modernization and industrialization within Russia. This led to reforms such as the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 and the implementation of major industrial and infrastructure projects.
