Answer 1

To improve upon a claim regarding Russia's defeat in the Crimean War, the most effective response would be "changing 'lack of alliances' to 'diplomatic failures'." This change provides a clearer and more specific explanation of the reasons behind the defeat, moving away from a simple characterization of alliances to addressing the broader issue of Russia's diplomatic strategies and relationships that could have influenced its ability to secure support during the conflict.
