The Crimean War and the Great War were two conflicts that resulted in drastic changes for the Russian people and altered Russia’s diplomatic status in the world. The social, political,
and economic changes that arose as the result of these failures undid hundreds of years of the Russian Feudal system and Czarist autocracy.
The focus of this paper will discuss the parallels and connections between the Crimean War and the Great War. Its purpose will be to demonstrate the similarities of these two Russian wars and to prove that the revolutions of 1917 were the direct result of the Crimean War.
