Battle of Kulikovo
09/08/1380 AD defeated
Fought between the armies of the Golden Horde, under the command of Mamai, and various Russian principalities, under the united command of Prince Dmitry of Moscow.
The battle took place at the Kulikovo Field near the Don River (now Tula Oblast, Russia) and was won by Dmitry, who became known as Donskoy, 'of the Don' after the battle.
Although the victory did not end Mongol domination over Rus, it is widely regarded by Russian historians as the turning point at which Mongol influence began to wane and Muscovite power began to rise. The process eventually led to Muscovite independence and the formation of the modern Russian state.
