Battle of Tarutino
10/18/1812 AD defeated
In the battle Russian troops under the command of Bennigsen defeated French troops under the command of Joachim Murat.
The battle is sometimes called the Battle of Vinkovo or the Battle of Chernishnya after the local river. Many historians claim that the latter name is more fitting because the village of Tarutino was 8 km from the described events.
