Which war saw Russia fighting Great Britain I and France in the Middle East during the 19th century? Select one answer: Northern War Russo-Japanese War Livonian War Crimean War

The correct answer is the Crimean War. The Crimean War was a conflict that took place from 1853 to 1856 between Russia and an alliance of France, Great Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia. The war was fought in the Middle East, specifically in the Crimean Peninsula, which was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time. The conflict arose from a dispute over the control of holy sites in Jerusalem and the rights of Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire. Russia sought to expand its influence in the region, while the Western powers aimed to prevent Russian expansion and protect their own interests in the Middle East. The Crimean War was a significant event in the history of the 19th century, as it marked the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of Russia as a major European power.
