Meanwhile, Russia was advancing through the River Tuna and intending to end the Ottoman domination in the Balkans. Besides, Russia was planning to divide these lands among the Europeans and desiring to dominate all the Orthodox people in the region. But, England and France rejected Russia’s plan and favoured the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman forces supported by England and France defeated the Russian Army in 1855 and invaded Sivastopol.

Char Nikolai I, committed suicide after this withdrawal and Alexander II succeeded him. In 1886, the Treaty of Paris was signed and the Ottoman Empire was considered as an European country and put under the protection of the other European countries. The Black Sea was neutralised and both Russia and the Ottoman Empire left the lands they were invaded.
