Don't forget the Sepoy rebellion in India. I do not know whether I would consider the Crimean War (the biggest European war in which Britain was involved between the Napoleonic wars and the First World War) a war of a 3T or of a Crisis.
Since I see the European and American seacula roughly simultaneous, since they are one civilization, the Crimean War is certainly one of the early events in the mid-19th century 4T that manifested as a civil war in America. The crisis in Britain was relatively light, but it resulted in greater democracy in the late 1860s. The Opium Wars in China were 3T, but they helped lead to the catastrophic Taiping Rebellion in China starting in 1850 and lasting to 1864 that corresponds in time to the American civil war and the European wars of unification. The Crimean War can be considered the first of the latter, since it resulted in a new nation called Romania, developed between 1856-1862.
