History

This war started as an attempt byTurkey to take back territories lost previously. It proved disastrous for theSublime Porte. The incompetence of the Turkish armies was exacerbated by thefact that Turkey was also warring with Austria at the same time. The Austrianstook Belgrade, while Russia affirmed its annexation of Crimea and also tookBessarabia (present day Moldova). Kinburn (1787), the taking of Ochakov, andthe surprise attack on Izmail by the future Generalissimo Suvorov were Russia’smost signal victories.
