"Bismarck", not "Bismark". "area", not "aria". "Herzegovina", not "Herzegovinia". "Graham", not "Gram". The Battle of Antietam was in Maryland, so it couldn't have prevented Lee from invading Maryland; he was already there. Liberia was established by a private organization of Americans and not by the United States per se. Champlain is not a great lake. Mexico didn't win its independence until 1821.

Russia didn't try to annex Crimea in 1853, as it was annexed by Catherine II in 18th century and owned by Russia since then. When the war started, France and Britain invaded Crimea from the sea and that's why that war was called 'Crimean'. Either before the war or after it the peninsula belonged to Russia
