Abstract
The Crimean War in 1854 was the first general European war since the 1815 defeat of Napoleon. Involving national interests of at least three great powers in the Eastern Question, the war raised issues which also threatened to engulf eastern and central Europe. This impending disruption of the Congress of Vienna Settlement created a flurry of diplomatic activity which resulted in the first modern wartime treaty between England and France. These two countries, staunch enemies throughout the wars of the previous century, had to resolve many differences in order to make their new alliance effective. Their success in the Crimean War and their common experiences in the two recent world wars have tended to veil the diplomatic achievements which surmounted the problems inherent in establishing this first treaty.
