Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1711 Peter the Great, the Tsar of Russia, led a large army of veterans from Poltava and his other Great Northern War victories into the Balkans. He aimed to humble the Ottomans in the same way he had the Swedes a few years before. Victory would secure useful allies in the Balkans, cement Russia's 'Great Power' status and offer Peter the opportunity to finally gain control over the Swedish king, Charles XII, thus completing his victory over Sweden. Yet within a few months, the 'backward' Ottomans had forced the Tsar and his Tsarina and their army of veterans into a humbling surrender near the Pruth River. The war was the first time that Russia was strong enough to confront the Ottomans independently rather than as a member of an alliance. It marked an important stage in Russia's development. However, it also showed the significant military strength of the Ottoman Empire and the limitations of Peter the Great's achievements. The war was of significance to the allies of both the Russians and the Ottomans. It was of course of an even greater importance to all those directly affected by the war such as the Swedish, the Polish, and the Cossacks, who had taken refuge from the reverses of the Great Northern War in the Ottoman territory. It would also bring about the defeat of the Moldavian and Walachian ambitions to shake off the Ottoman overlordship, elevating Dimitrie Cantemir into the position of a national hero celebrated to this day by the people of Romania. The book looks at the causes of this little known war and its course. Using contemporary and modern sources it examines in detail the forces involved in the conflict, seeking to determine their size, actual composition, and tactics, offering the first realistic determination on the subject in English.

Download or read book The Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774 written by Brian L. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russo-Turkish War was one of the most decisive conflicts of the 18th century. In this book, Brian Davies offers a thorough survey of the war and explains why it was crucial to the political triumph of Catherine the Great, the southward expansion of the Russian Empire, and the rollback of Ottoman power from southeastern Europe. The war completed the incorporation of Ukraine into the Russian Empire, ended the independence of the great Cossack hosts, removed once and for all the military threat from the Crimean Khanate, began the partitions of Poland, and encouraged Catherine II to plan projects to complete the "liberation" of the lower Danubian and Balkan Slavs and Greeks. The war legitimated and secured the power of Catherine II, finally made the Pontic steppe safe for agricultural colonization, and won ports enabling Russia to control the Black Sea and become a leading grain exporter. Traditionally historians (Sorel, for example) have treated this war as the beginning of the "Eastern Question," the question of how the European powers should manage the decline of the Ottoman Empire. A thorough grasp of the Russo-Turkish War is essential to understanding the complexity and volatility of diplomacy in 18th-century Europe. This book will be an invaluable resource for all scholars and students on European military history and the history of Eastern Europe.

Book excerpt: Original Czar Peter went to Europe for the first time in 1697 with a Grand Embassy to seek the settlement with of the European monarchs and the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire laid a siege of Vienna in In 1683. The ensuing war of Europe with Empire lasted until 1699. This Embassy was scheduled to take a couple of weeks only. The King of England in concert with Kings of France, Austria, and Holland replaces the Russian Czar Peter with his look-alike agent in order to stop the imminent Russian and Ottoman invasions. This look-alike of Russian Czar Peter was an officer of the Ost-Indian-Company. New Peter changed his agenda completely and started traveling to Germany, Holland, and England. He worked as a carpenter for 4 months in the shipyard of the Dutch East Indian company in the construction of a ship "Peter and Paul" especially laid down for him. Peter met with King William III, visited Greenwich and Oxford, and saw a Royal Navy Fleet Review at Deptford. He had to rush home from England to crush the rebellion of the Streltsy Czar's guard and punished ruthlessly the mutineers. Over 1,200 of the rebels were tortured and executed (a couple of dozen by his own hand), and Peter ordered that their bodies be publicly exhibited as a warning to future conspirators. Peter I came home another man speaking Russian with the German accent and ordered to call him Great from now on. His own family did not recognize him, consequently, he disbanded the guard of Streltsy, made his half-sister Sophia who pretended to the throne a nun and sent her to a monastery. Peter ordered the nobility of boyars to cut beards, smoke tobacco and dance ballet. Better yet, Peter reformed the Orthodox church into total submission. Old Russian Orthodox Church called him Antichrist, so he created a Church Council proclaimed himself as its head. This council had reformed the Russian Church into oblivion. Most of the stubborn Orthodox crowd was simply burnt alive. Peter, once he became the Great one beheaded old imperial guard, created the modern army that won and built a fleet that sank. Peter performed a live trial of this new army of the king of Sweden Karl XII who also wanted to usurp the Russian throne, beat Karl's army rumored to be the best of this time in Europe into pulp in Poltava, Ukraine. Peter the Great was a reformer to the hilt and promoted hiself to Emperor of Russia. High European aristocracy didn't let Peter marry in. Peter has raised a merchant woman Kate to an Emperess Ekaterina I. Russia paid a steep price for his reforms in blood, sweat, and tears. Peter did not quite succeed in his brazen reforms, so he left a Testament ordering the Russian Empire to reconquer Europe again. For Peter the European customs were in all respects superior to Russian traditions. He ordered the German historians imported to Russia to found a Russian Academy to review Russian history in line with the consensual one practiced in Europe. Peter the First alias the Great has literally ruined Russia, lost at least a quarter of its population, tried to break into Europe, moved the capital of Russia from Moscow to St Petersburg, made Russia to an awkward upstart and a laughing stock of Europe.

Download or read book Shattering Empires written by Michael A. Reynolds and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The break-up of the Ottoman empire and the disintegration of the Russian empire were watershed events in modern history. The unravelling of these empires was both cause and consequence of World War I and resulted in the deaths of millions. It irrevocably changed the landscape of the Middle East and Eurasia and reverberates to this day in conflicts throughout the Caucasus and Middle East. Shattering Empires draws on extensive research in the Ottoman and Russian archives to tell the story of the rivalry and collapse of two great empires. Overturning accounts that portray their clash as one of conflicting nationalisms, this pioneering study argues that geopolitical competition and the emergence of a new global interstate order provide the key to understanding the course of history in the Ottoman-Russian borderlands in the twentieth century. It will appeal to those interested in Middle Eastern, Russian, and Eurasian history, international relations, ethnic conflict, and World War I.

This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eighteenth Century has been a century in which changes were experienced in every field in the world and especially in Europe, and the balance of power began to change. Military, social and economic changes in Europe caused the emergence of new empires and the weakening of the powerful empires of the period that could not adapt to this change. The subject of our book, Peter the Great, who founded the Great Russian Empire that marked this period, and Frederick the Great, who is referred to as the founder of the Prussian state, made their countries competitive with other European states in every field, and set an example for many countries. In this study The Eighteenth Century In order to understand how the Ottoman Empire, which is still one of the strongest empires of the century, followed the developments taking place around it, we tried to examine how the reforms of these two great leaders in their countries found their place in the contemporary Ottoman sources of the period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many other states, the 19th century was a period of coming to grips with the growing domination of the world by the 'Great Powers' for the Ottoman Empire. Many Muslim Ottoman elites attributed European 'ascendance' to the new sciences that had developed in Europe, and a long and multi-dimensional debate on the nature, benefits, and potential dangers of science ensued. This analysis of this debate is not based on assumptions characteristic of studies on modernisation and Westernisation, arguing that for Muslim Ottomans the debate on science was in essence a debate on the representatives of science.
