The Crimean War, sometimes referred to as the "Great Crimean War of 1854-56" was a series of land and naval confrontations between the forces of the United Kingdom, France, The Ottoman Empire and Russia. The United Kingdom and France went to the aid of the Ottomans against territorial claims by the Russians. This ended the time of peace since the Napoleonic Wars, and would lead to further confrontations later on in the 19th century. New weapons such as the Enfield rifle and underwater mines were introduced. The war was fought not only in Crimea but in the Baltic and the Pacific.
