Question

which correctly lists all of the belligerents in the crimean war?
○ russia, the ottoman empire, france, and britain
○ russia, france, britain, and india
○ russia and the ottoman empire
○ russia, france, and britain

Explanation:

The Crimean War (1853 - 1856) had belligerents including Russia (fighting), and the alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, and Britain (opposing Russia). India was a British colony and not a belligerent as a separate entity here, and the war involved more than just Russia and the Ottoman Empire or just Russia, France, and Britain. So the correct list is Russia, the Ottoman Empire, France, and Britain.

Answer:

A. Russia, the Ottoman Empire, France, and Britain
