The '''Crimean War''' lasted from October 1853 to February 1856. It was a war fought primarily on the [[Crimean Peninsula]] between the Russians on one side, and the British, French, and the [[Ottoman Turks|Ottoman Empire]] on the other.
The beginnings of the war can be traced to 1851, when Napoleon III(France) demanded that the Ottomans acknowledge France as the 'sovereign authority' of the Holy Land.
