To improve upon a claim regarding Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War, the best choice would be:

changing “lack of alliances” to “diplomatic failures.”

This change provides a more specific and nuanced explanation for the factors contributing to Russia's defeat, as it indicates that there were active shortcomings in diplomacy rather than merely a lack of alliances.
