I want to know the answer to the following question:
What did A.W Kinglake make the British out to be?
All the background I'm provided with is that "More recently, the historians Andrew Lambert and Winfried Baumgart have argued that, first, Britain was following a geopolitical strategy in aiming to destroy a fledgling Russian Navy which might challenge the Royal Navy for control of the seas, and second that the war was a joint European response to a century of Russian expansion not just southwards but also into western Europe.". Is that enough to answer the question?
