Oh - so Turkey controlled an important waterway? Then why was Russia threat to them?
Russia is huge. If Russia wants to control something ... what do you think? Who would be stronger in terms of aggression or defense? Russia or Turkey?
Russia wanted the waterway? Russia had a stronger army than Turkey.

Yes, Russia wanted (and still wants) use of the waterway -- the Dardanelles -- to be able to get products out of the Black Sea and into the Mediterranean. And they didn't (don't) want to have to pay high taxes/fees to another country or fight wars in order to do so.
