“The Crimean War (also Oriental War; Russian Восточная война, Крымская война Wostotschnaja woina, Krymskaja woina) was a military conflict lasting from 1853 to 1856 between the Russian Empire on the one hand and the Ottoman Empire and its allies France, Great Britain and, from 1855, Sardinia-Piedmont on the other. It began as the tenth Russo-Turkish War, in which the Western European powers intervened to prevent Russia from expanding its territory at the expense of the weakened Ottoman Empire. The Allies are reported to have suffered around 220,000 casualties, the Russians 450,000!” (wiki)
