On 30 March 1856, the Treaty of Paris was signed by the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Great Britain, France, and the Kingdom of Sardinia, officially ending the Crimean War.
The treaty sought to curb Russian expansion, neutralized the Black Sea to prevent military buildup, and reaffirmed the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire.
While the agreement temporarily maintained European stability, tensions between the major powers persisted, foreshadowing future conflicts.
