15. The foreign policy of Russia in second half XIX -. The beginning of XX century
An important aspect of Russia's foreign policy in the second half of the 19th century is connected with the Crimean War. The reasons for the Crimean War were rooted mainly just in the clash colonial interests of Russia and England, as well as Russia and France, part of Russia and Austria in the Middle East and the Balkans. Both Britain in alliance with France and Russia in the Crimean War aspired to the same goal, ie, to dominate in these regions, albeit in different ways, Britain and France, which have been beneficial to have in Turkey face a constant counterweight and a threat to Russia, preferred to enslave the Turkish Empire, whereas Russia wants to destroy her. Turkey, in turn, pursued a long goal deprive Russia of Crimea and the Caucasus. In short, the Crimean war was the aggressive, predatory on the part of all participants. The immediate cause for the war served as a dispute between the Catholic and Orthodox clergy of the so-called "holy places" in Jerusalem, that is, that in whose jurisdiction should be "the tomb of the Lord" and to whom to repair the dome of the temple of Bethlehem, where according to tradition, Jesus Christ was born. Since the right to decide this question belonged to the Sultan, Nicholas I and Napoleon III of, both looking for reasons to put pressure on Turkey, intervened in the dispute: the first, of course, on the side of the Orthodox Church, the second - on the side of the Catholic. Religious strife resulted in a diplomatic conflict. In November 1853, Admiral Nakhimov headed a squadron of six ships of the line and two frigates attacked the Ottoman fleet and burned almost all Ottoman ships and destroyed the coastal fortifications. The brilliant victory of the Russian fleet at Sinope was a pretext for direct intervention of Britain and France, they declare war on Russia. The fate of the war was decided in the Crimea, although military operations were carried out and on the Danube and in the Caucasus, and in several other places. In early 1854 began the heroic defense of Sevastopol, which lasted 11 months. The defense was led by Vice-Admiral Kornilov, and after his death - Nakhimov, who in late June during heavy shelling of the city, was mortally wounded. The situation appeared hopeless Sevastopol, so it was decided to leave the fortress. The fall of Sevastopol prejudge the outcome of the war. March 18, 1856 was signed the Paris peace treaty, under which Russia lost the southern part of Bessarabia to the mouth of the Danube and the Black Sea became a "demilitarized" zone, Russia and the Ottoman Empire was forbidden to be on the Black Sea Navy, and on the banks of the military fortress arsenals. Consequently, in the event of war, the Black Sea coast of Russia are vulnerable. Treatise deprived Russia of protecting the interests of the Orthodox population in the Ottoman territories, protection of Serbia and the Danubian Principalities, which significantly weaken Russia's influence in the Middle East peace process. The defeat of the Russian land has undermined its prestige on the world stage. The Crimean War contributed to the further deepening of the feudal system in Russia crisis. The Crimean War was the strongest impetus to the collapse of domestic social base of autocracy. The tsarist government, according to Engels, compromised in this war is not only the "Russian to the world", but also "itself to Russia." The war exacerbated the general hatred of the Russians to the feudal regime and put on the agenda the question of the abolition of serfdom. In short, the Crimean War accelerated the maturing of a revolutionary situation, which forced the tsarist government to abolish serfdom. Thus, if the feudal regime has led to the collapse of tsarist foreign policy in the Crimean War in the country, the collapse of tsarist foreign policy, in turn, accelerated the fall of the feudal regime in Russia.
