Allied Powers Declare War on Russia

March 28th, 1854 171 years ago

France and Britain declared war on Russia in March 1854, primarily due to tensions involving the declining Ottoman Empire and Russian expansionism. They aimed to curb Russian influence in the Balkans, ensuring stability in Europe. This decision marked a pivotal escalation in hostilities that would lead to the broader conflict known as the Crimean War. The declaration was a culmination of diplomatic tensions that had been brewing since the early 1850s.
