Causes
In your list of causes for the Crimean war, nos 2, 3, 4 and six are not causes of the war. They can't be. Things that happened in the war, yes. Causes, no. And I still can't see what the Holy See has to do with the start of the war. It had no land boundary with Russia or Turkey, and no rteal religious connection. The UK was officially Protestant, Russia Russian Orthodox, Turkey Moslem, and while France had a large Roman Catholic population it did not have a connection between Church and State. I would suggest you re-read the book - I'll be looking for it in the library - and if those are listed therein as causes I'll be very surprised. Peridon (talk) 16:50, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
