Does the Brits even have to make their main effort in the Black Sea?
If they want to deter the Russians from capturing Istanbul, yes. We're pretty close to the era of 'The Great Game', when Russia and Great Britain were frequently teetering on the brink of conflict because of Russian designs on Afghanistan, Iran and the areas abutting the British holdings in India.
Hence, the British concern to prop up the sick man of Europe.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

While there was also in Germany a "revolutionary" climate in the 1840ies, it was in no way due to a communist movement, rather, as in the other countries, a liberal (so "bourgouis" if you will) thing. It was pro-democratic, and anti-monarchic, but not more.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
