As Russia fell
behind the rate of development of other nations, so its foreign
policy became less successful, declining from the tremendous triumph
over Napoleon to the disaster of the Crimean War (1853-56). The
empire of the tsars failed to keep pace with other European
countries. By the middle of the nineteenth century it appeared to
many 锟絘 colossus on feet of clay.锟?/span> |
The
Crimean War demonstrated Russia锟絪 military and economic weaknesses
to the Russian government in a humiliating fashion. In
the war an isolated Russia was opposed by the British, French,
Turks, and Piedmontese. The war showed Russia to be militarily
inferior to the more industrialized countries of Western Europe. The
Russians锟?weapons and military equipment proved obsolete. Their
infantry锟絪 small arms were no match for modern Western European
rifles, which could open fire at four times the distance of Russia锟絪
antiquated handguns. The Black Sea fleet, composed of wooden sailing
vessels, could not compete with the steam-propelled warships of the
allies. In addition, the country锟絪 transportation system failed to
serve adequately the needs of the war. Unlike their stand in 1812
against Napoleon, in the Crimea the Russians were unable to defend
their own territory against outside invasion.
Russia锟絪
defeats in the Crimean War seriously undermined its military
prestige and dealt a severe blow to national self-esteem. The
catastrophe of the war underlined the pressing need for fundamental
reforms. It was one of the causes of the series of important
internal reforms that were carried out by Nicholas锟絪 heir, Alexander
II (1855-81).
