They did not want the Russians to control the Black Sea.

Explanation:

The Crimean War (1853-1856) was triggered by the pressure and demands of Russia on Turkey. The intended Russian control of large areas and in the Black Sea were a treat to British commercial and political interests in the Middle East. France had some disputes with Russia and the war was a good pretext to cultivate an alliance with Britain.
