HELP With Other countries roles in the Crimean War

The Crimean War in some aspects was a pretty wide conflict, and I wanted to learn more about the involvement of all the other nations in the world in this conflict. I've heard some involvement of Ireland, America, and Japan, but I'd like to hear a bit more about the largest conflict in Europe between the Napoleonic Wars, and Ww1.

So what role did the following countries have in the Crimean War? If you know, I'd love to see some sources!

Role of Prussia

Role of Sardinia

Role of Austria

Role of America

Role of Greece

Role of Persia

Role of India

Role of Egypt

Role of Qing China

Role of Spain

Role of Portugal

Role of Denmark and Sweden

Role of Any of Africa

Role of Any of Latin America

Role of Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand

Role of Japan

Role of Arabia

Role of Southeast Asia

Role of Korea

Role of Afghanistan

Thank You.
 
A good number are part of the British Empire, so already in. Others part of the Ottoman Empire so the same. Plus many of the others have nothing to gain, so why.
 
Role of Greece

Shortly after the start of the Crimean War, there was a large-scale revolt by the Greeks living in Ottoman Epirus, Thessaly and parts of Macedonia. Greek public opinion was highly inflamed at the time, for usual (oppression of Greeks in the Ottoman Empire) as well as unusual reasons (the Crimean War started in 1853...shortly after the 400-year anniversary of the fall of Constantinople). So the revolt received much support from Greece's public, and even from Greece's government and royal court.

However, Britain and France threatened and strongarmed Greece into leaving the rebels high and dry. Once isolated, the revolt was defeated by the Ottomans, and the Great Power threats culminated in a join Franco-British occupation of Greece which lasted until the end of the Crimean War. And which was pretty disastrous for the country, although it also had some positive side-effects.

Additionally, around 500-1,000 Greek volunteers fought in the Russian army during the war (it's hard to give a precise number, since some of the volunteers fighting in the "Greek Legion" were actually Bulgarians and Serbs).

Yes, but I wanted to know their individual role in the war, same with the Ottomans. And Im talking about these countries ROLES in the war, not if they joined the war.

I knew of the Epirus Revolt of 1854, and I've been heavily interested in it's effects on the Crimean War, and Greece. I have 16 sources on the Revolt, and this helps my understanding a great deal. Thank You!

It is rather difficult to talk about the individual role of a country which is not a country (like at that time: Ireland, Australia, India, Arabia).

Sweden made a treaty with Britain and France but did not do anything active.

Prussia, IIRC, also joined a coalition by the end of the war but, again, pretty much nothing of importance.

Austria temporarily occupied Danubian Principalities.

Sardinia sent troops to the Crimea.

The rest on your list had other things to do.
