Is Russian victory possible in the Crimean War? Victory does not necessarily have to mean the conquest of Constantinople and the Dardanelles but at the least territorial gains in the Danube region and/or Caucasus. It doesn't seem very difficult to keep at least some of the intervening western European powers out of the war, and perhaps with an Austrian guarantee of neutrality Russia can ignore their naval defeats and push on for a more land-based bid for victory.
