First Sentence

The humiliating defeat of the Russian Empire in the Crimean War (1853-6) by an Anglo-French expeditionary force of only seventy thousand men assisting Turkey, the "sick man of Europe," revealed clearly the Russian incompetence at the highest political and military levels, the inferiority of the quality of Russia's armaments, the absence of an adequate system of transportation for moving troops on her own territory, and Russia's overall backwardness.
