The war fought by France and Britain in Russia was the Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856. It primarily involved the conflict over the rights of Christian minorities in the Holy Land and the decline of the Ottoman Empire, which threatened Russian expansion. The war is most famously known for the Siege of Sevastopol and the Charge of the Light Brigade. Ultimately, it ended with the Treaty of Paris, which curtailed Russian naval power in the Black Sea.
