Russian-Ottoman war (1710-1711). The campaing from Prut
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Studii Eurasiatice - Year 2006, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The military action of tsar Petre in 1711 was the first russian-ottoman confrontation on romanian land. However, it didn’t represent more than a sequel of the North war, the swedish king Charles XII being refugee on the land of the Ottoman Empire after the battle of Poltava. Although the russian army was fighting on several fronts, the tsar chose to adopt an offensive attitude, basing himself on the illusory support of the peoples from the Balkans that were under the Ottoman rule. Organised in a hurry, the campaign was a huge military failure for the tsar, the situation being, however, partially saved by the abilities of the russian negotiators. The Peace from Prut represented a step backwards for the Russian Empire and a temporary strengthening of the Ottoman Empire.
