What were the effects of the crimean war?

The Crimean War took place in 1853-1856 between Imperial Russia, on one hand, and, on the other, France, Great Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia. Various battles were fought throughout southeastern Europe and in Russia itself, with Russian influence generally reduced as a result of its defeat in the conflict. It should be noted, however, that this war also contributed to the outbreak of World War I, as it fueled Russian ambitions to regain lost prestige while also inciting unrest in the Balkan territories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
