The war that aimed to curb Russian dominance in Turkey was the Crimean War, which took place from 1853 to 1856. This conflict involved an alliance of Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia against Russia. The war was primarily fought over the rights of Christian minorities in the Holy Land and the strategic interests of the powers in the declining Ottoman Empire. It ultimately sought to prevent Russia from expanding its influence in the region.

In the years before the war why did Britain and France refuse the Russian overtures for an alliance?

Britain and France sees both Russia and Germany as potential threats ,after the Russian revolution Russia was hitting hard in world politics and economy so Britain and France hoped for a typical war between Russia and Germany (as Germany was becoming the world superpower ).Their was that If Russia And Germany could collide one would destroy another and there will be at least one enemy wipped out or weekend and would be easy to handle,this strategy was called as satisfying spree but unfortunately Russia and Germany came under an agreement not to attack each other ,that's why France and Britain refuses the Russian overtures for alliance though they gave (as announced) their full support to Russia when Russia managed to stop Germany's progress in Stalingrad .
