You might want to read at least some books on Russian history and results of the Crimean War specifically.

Or chose a number different from 200.

Crimean War was lost. Russian-Japanese War was lost the same way. WWI way lost by Germany, but Russians lost even to Germans. WWII was won as part of the Allies by sacrificing Ukraine and using the extensive support from the US. Looks like a pattern to me.

US lost Vietnam war, Korean war, Bay of pigs invasion (attempted Cuba take over), Afghan war (recent one). Looks like a pattern to me...

>Crimean War was lost.

My point is that the Crimean War resulted in reforms later on.
