Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca - ends Russo-Turkish War of 1768–74
07/21/1774 AD defeated
Following the recent Ottoman defeat at the Battle of Kozludzha, the Treaty of Kuchuk-Kainarji ends the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–74 and marka a defeat of the Ottomans in their struggle against Russia.
The Russians were represented by Field-Marshal Count Pyotr Rumyantsev while the Ottoman side was represented by Muhsinzade Mehmed Pasha.
The treaty was a most humiliating blow to the once-mighty Ottoman realm. It would also stand to foreshadow several future conflicts between the Ottomans and Russia. It would be only one of many attempts by Russia to gain control of Ottoman territory.
