Treaties of the Russo-Turkish Wars

Treaties of the Russo-Turkish Wars were formal agreements that ended the conflicts between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. These treaties typically granted Russia territorial gains, such as access to strategic ports and influence over Balkan and Caucasus regions, while the Ottoman Empire preserved its sovereignty. They also often included provisions for protecting Christian minorities in Ottoman lands. Each treaty reflected the shifting balance of power, with Russia expanding its influence and territory, and the Ottoman Empire’s control diminishing. These agreements played a key role in shaping the geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe and the Middle East during the 18th and 19th centuries.
