Treaty of Adrianople

The Treaty of Adrianople, signed in 1829, ended the Russo-Turkish War between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. This treaty marked a significant shift in power, granting Russia greater influence in the Balkans and recognizing its rights over certain territories, including modern-day Romania. Additionally, it allowed for the establishment of autonomous regions in the Ottoman Empire, paving the way for increased national movements among the Balkan peoples.
