The Crimean War illustrated which of the following about Russia's foreign policy under Nicholas I?
  1. The Ottoman Empire would be largely irrelevant in the late 19th century.
  2. The military prowess of Russia threatened the European balance of power.
  3. Russia was not perceived as a world power.
  4. Russia's strong relationship with France was intensifying.
  5. Nicholas had alienated Russia from the rest of Europe.
Explanation
Answer: E - The Crimean War demonstrated that Russia had alienated the rest of Europe, as Britain, France, and Sardinia rallied to uphold the weakened Ottoman Empire. While the Ottoman Empire was struggling, the threat of Russian expansionism was significant enough for the other European nations to go to war. Maintaining the balance of power meant that the Ottoman Empire would be propped up until World War I.
