<p><b>Russian diplomacy before the war</b></p>
<p>By the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish war, Russia had managed to secure a favorable international situation by signing a few treaties
with Iran in 1732-1735 (which was at war with Turkey in 1730-1736)<br />
and supporting the accession to the Polish throne of Augustus III in<br />
1735 instead of the French protégé Stanislaw I Leszczynski,<br />
nominated by pro-Turkish French.</p>
<p>Austria was Russia's ally from 1726. The casus belli was the raids of the Crimean Tatars on Ukraine in the end of 1735 and the
Crimean khan's military campaign in the Caucasus. In 1736, the<br />
Russian commanders envisioned the seizure of Azov and the Crimea.<br />
</p>
<p>On May 20, 1736, the Russian Dnieper army (62,000 men) under the command of the Prussian Field Marshal Burkhard Christoph von Munich
took the Turkish fortifications at Perekop by storm and occupied<br />
Bakhchisaray on June 17. However, lack of supplies coupled with the<br />
outbreak of an epidemic forced the Russians to retreat to Ukraine.<br />
But nevertheless, this marked the successful Russian campaign<br />
against the Ottomans in rolling back the Jihad from Russian soil. A<br />
campaign that as to take the Russian armies all over the Balkans up<br />
to Greece, to finally eject the Ottomans from Europe.</p>
<p>Now there were more victories in store for the Russians. On June 19, the Russian Don army (28,000 men) under the command of General
Peter Lacy with the support from the Don Flotilla under the command<br />
of Vice Admiral Peter Bredahl seized the fortress of Azov. In July<br />
of 1737, Von Munich’s army took the Turkish fortress of Ochakov by<br />
storm. The army (already 40,000 men strong) marched into the Crimea<br />
the same month, inflicting a number of defeats on the army of the<br />
Crimean khan and capturing Karasubazar.</p>
<p>In July of 1737, Austria entered the war against Turkey, but was defeated a number of times. In August, Russia, Austria and Turkey
began negotiations in Nemirov, which would turn out to be fruitless.<br />
There were no significant military operations in 1738. The Russian<br />
army had to leave Ochakov and Kinburn due to the outbreak of plague.<br />

<p>In 1739, Field Marshal Munich’s army crossed the Dnieper, defeated the Turks at Stavuchany and occupied the fortress of Khotin
(August 19) and Jassy. However, Austria was defeated by the Turks<br />
once again and signed a separate peace treaty with the Ottoman<br />
Empire on August 21, 1739. This, coupled with the imminent threat of<br />
the Swedish invasion, forced Russia to sign the Belgrade Peace<br />
Treaty with the Ottomans on September 18, 1739 which ended the war.<br />
</p>
<p><b><br/> The fifth Russo-Turkish War, 1787-92</b></p>
<p>This war took place in the shadow of upheavals taking place in Western Europe, like the French Revolution and the beginning of the
revolutionary wars that later turned into the Napoleonic wars. With<br />
Austria getting increasingly entangled on its Western frontier with<br />
France, it fell on Russia’s shoulders to hold the fort against<br />
further Ottoman incursions into Europe. This war saw Russian armies<br />
inflict a string of defeats on the Turks, softening them for the<br />
assaults to follow in the next hundred and fifty years that was to<br />
finally drive the Turks from Europe and place Turkey at the mercy of<br />
Russia and other Christian powers of Europe. <br/>
</p>
<p><b>The sixth Russo-Turkish War, 1806-1812 - final defeat of the Jihadis in Russia</b></p>
<p>Russo-Turkish War, 1806-1812 was one of the crucial wars fought between Imperial Russia representing orthodox Christianity and the
Ottoman Empire that represented the Jihadi assault on Russia and on<br />
Europe in general in the 15th to the 18th centuries. This war and<br />
subsequent wars took Russians armies out of Russia proper into<br />
Moldavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Georgia, Armenia and<br />
into Turkey proper in their battle against the Ottoman Jihadis.</p>
<p>Although the wars are described as Russo-Turkish wars, they were not national wars, but those of the Christian resistance to a Muslim
assault in the name of Islam and Jihad.</p>

<p>This war broke out in 1806, when Turkey deposed the Russophile governors of its vassal states Moldavia and Walachia. Since Russia
was reluctant to concentrate large forces against Turkey while its<br />
relations with Napoleonic France were so uncertain. In 1811, with<br />
the prospect of a Franco-Russian war in sight, Russia sought a quick<br />
decision on its southern frontier. The Russian field marshal M.I.<br />
Kutuzov's victorious campaign of 1811-12 forced the Turks to cede<br />
Bessarabia to Russia by the Treaty of Bucharest in May 28, 1812</p>
<p><b>The seventh Russo-Turkish war of 1828-1829</b></p>

<p><b>The eight Russo-Turkish war (the Crimean War)</b></p>
<p>The Crimean War lasted from 1854 to 1856. It was fought between Russia and an opportunistic alliance of the Ottoman Empire with
United Kingdom and France.</p>
<p>This opportunistic alliance showed that the European powers no longer viewed the Turks as a threat to Europe, although they were
still occupying a part of the Balkans. The British looked upon<br />
Russia as a competitor in their race for colonies in Asia and wanted<br />
to prevent Russia from emerging as a naval power. Had Russia<br />
defeated and crushed the Ottoman empire in this war, Russians navies<br />
would have entered the Mediterranean and eventually countered<br />
British efforts to dominate the Middle East and South Asia. So<br />
Britain shrewdly decided to ally itself with the eternal foes of<br />
Christendom, the Muslim Ottoman Turks. This war is called the<br />
Crimean war, since the majority of the conflict took place around<br />
the Crimean peninsula on the Black Sea.</p>
<p><b>Religions overtones and origins of the Crimean war</b></p>
<p>After a dispute with the Ottoman Empire over the guardianship of several holy towns in Palestine and the protection of Orthodox
Christians, Russia invaded Moldavia and Wallachia, both<br />
semi-autonomous vassals of the Ottoman Empire, resulting in a<br />
declaration of war by the Ottomans in late 1853. The Russians, under<br />
the command of Admiral Nakhimov, the hero of the Battle of Navarino,<br />
sank the Ottoman fleet at Sinop on November 30.</p>

<p class="SmallText"><b>During the Crimean Russo-Turkish war, Ottoman troops landed in the Crimea and besieged the city of Sevastopol,
home of the Czar’s Black Sea fleet and a threat of future Russian<br />
penetration into the Mediterranean. The Russians had to scuttle<br />
their ships and use their naval cannons as additional artillery, and<br />
the ships' crews as marines. Admiral Nakhimov was mortally wounded<br />
in the head by a sniper shot, and died on June 30, 1855. The city<br />

<p>The Ottomans were joined by Britain and France on March 28, 1854, and by Piedmont-Sardinia (though her participation was merely token)
in January 1855. Austria also shamefully threatened to enter the war<br />
on the Ottoman side, causing the Russians to withdraw from the<br />
occupied areas, which were immediately occupied by the Austrians, in<br />
August 1854.<br/>
</p>
<p><b>Siege of Sevastopol</b></p>
<p>The following month, Ottoman troops landed in the Crimea and besieged the city of Sevastopol, home of the Czar’s Black Sea fleet
and a threat of future Russian penetration into the Mediterranean.<br />
The Russians had to scuttle their ships and use their naval cannons<br />
as additional artillery, and the ships' crews as marines. Admiral<br />
Nakhimov was mortally wounded in the head by a sniper shot, and died<br />
on June 30, 1855. The city was finally captured in September 1855.<br />
In the same year, the Russians occupied the Turkish city of Kars.<br />
After the occupation of Sevastopol following large-scale devastation<br />
and the accession of Alexander II peace negotiations began. The war<br />
ended with the Treaty of Paris (1856).</p>
<p><br/> <b>The Infamous character of the Crimean war</b></p>
<p>The war became infamously known for the division of the Christendom’s forces in a battle against the Saracens. While
Christian nations of Europe had battled fiercely amongst themselves<br />
all through history, they had not till the Crimean war, sought to<br />
defeat another Christian power by aligning themselves with a Muslim<br />
power.</p>
<p>But from the Crimean war onwards till, 9/11, this opportunistic trend was to continue, with one European power aligning itself with
one Muslim nation and another European power with another Muslim<br />
nation.</p>
<p>With the Crimean war, the Crusade against Jihad was to get overlapped with national, colonial and imperialistic considerations,
in which the cause for the war was narrow nationalistic gain. But<br />
this was to be largely (if not totally) reversed on that <b>fateful<br />
day on 9/11</b>.</p>
<p><b>The ninth Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878</b> had its origins in the Russian goal of gaining access to the Mediterranean Sea and
dominating Constantinople (Istanbul) and the adjacent Turkish<br />
Straits. However, due to the bad experience of seeing Christian<br />
European powers aligning themselves against Russia and in favor of<br />
the Muslim Turks during the Crimean War, Russian diplomacy<br />
advertised the war as an effort of liberating the Christian Slav and<br />
Hellenic peoples of the Balkan Peninsula of south-eastern Europe<br />
from the Turkish-ruled Ottoman Empire.</p>

<p>An anti-Ottoman uprising occurred in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the summer of 1875. The main reason for this revolt was the heavy
tax burden of Jaziya imposed by the fanatic Ottoman administration.<br />
Despite some setbacks, the uprising continued well over the end of<br />
1875 and eventually triggered the Bulgarian April uprising of 1876.<br />
</p>
<p>Tension in Bosnia and Russian support encouraged the principalities of Serbia and Montenegro's declaration of war against
their nominal Ottoman overlords early in July.</p>
<p>The war led to the superpowers Russia (Prince Gorchakov) and Austria-Hungary (Count Andrássy), into making the secret Reichstadt
Agreement in July 8, on partitioning the Balkan peninsula between<br />
themselves depending on the outcome.</p>
<p>In August 1876, Serb forces were defeated by the Turkish army, which was the worst-case scenario for Russians and Austrians as they
couldn't claim any Ottoman possessions. However the atrocities<br />
committed against the civilian Slav population during the war and<br />
during the Bulgarian April uprising had a wide-spread response<br />
throughout Europe.</p>
<p>To suppress the Bulgarian April uprising the Turks followed a time-tested Muslim policy of beheading the leaders of the Bulgarian
rebels and parading their severed heads through the rebel held<br />
cities to force a surrender. Despite these despicable and gory<br />
inhuman practices, the Bulgars held their own against their<br />
tormentors and forced Turkey to negotiate a Conference for granting<br />
autonomy to Bulgaria.</p>
<p>As a result the Constantinople Conference was held in December 1876 in Constantinople (Istanbul). At this conference, at which
Turkey was not represented, superpowers discussed the boundaries of<br />
one or more future autonomous Bulgarian provinces within the Ottoman<br />
Empire.</p>
<p>The Conference was interrupted by the Turkish foreign minister, who informed the delegates that Turkey had approved a new
constitution, which guaranteed rights and freedoms of all ethnic<br />
minorities and Bulgarians would enjoy equal rights with all Ottoman<br />
citizens. Despite that, Russia did not trust the Ottomans, given the<br />
Ottoman policy of deceit based on the Islamic practice of Taqiya<br />
(deception). The Russians remained hostile towards the Ottoman<br />
Empire, speculating that this Turkish overture was no permanent<br />
solution to the liberation of the Balkans. The remaining European<br />
powers were paralyzed by strong civil support for the idea of<br />
Bulgarian independence.</p>
<p>Russia declared war on Turkey on 24 April 1877. In the beginning of the war the outcome was far from obvious. The Russians could
raise a larger army of about 200,000 was within their reach. The<br />
Turks had about 160,000 troops on the Balkan peninsula. Turkish<br />
troops were better armed. The Turks had the advantage of being<br />
fortified, and they also had a complete command of the Black Sea,<br />
and had patrol boats along the Danube river.</p>

Turks. The Russians were to eventually get embroiled in their<br />
Revolutions in 1918 and 1920. Despite this the Turks got a body blow<br />
from which they were to never recover. For all their fearsomeness<br />
and cruelty, the Turks were finally reduced to dust by the Russians,<br />
British and French in World War 1, which saw the sun set over not<br />
just the Ottoman jihad’s threat to Europe, but also to the last<br />

<p>In reality, however, most of the time Turks used only about 25% of their military capacity. In addition to that, Turks had no idea
of Russian plans and made little attempt to predict their actions<br />
and to counter them. They preferred to stay fortified and wait until<br />
the Russians knocked on their doors. At the beginning of the war<br />
Russians destroyed all vessels along the Danube, and mined the<br />
river, thus ensuring they could cross the Danube at any point they<br />
want. This again didn't ring the bells of alarm for the Turkish<br />
command.</p>
<p>In June a small Russian unit passed the Danube close to the delta, at Galatz and marched in the direction of Ruse. This made the
Turks even more confident that the big Russian force is to come<br />
right through the middle of the Turkish stronghold. Then in July the<br />
Russians constructed a bridge up the Danube at Svishtov, and started<br />
passing unobstructed. There were no significant Turkish troops in<br />
the area. The command in Istanbul ordered Osman Pasha to march in<br />
that direction and fortify in the nearby <b>fortress of Nikopol.<br />
(Remember this was the town of Nicopolis which saw the first<br />
Bulgarian and Turkish battles, when the Turkish Jihadis had first<br />
invaded the Balkans.)</b></p>
<p>On his way to Nikopol Osman Pasha learned that the Russians had already assumed firm control of that fortress, so he moved to Pleven.
Less than 24 hours after Osman Pasha's fortification at Pleven,<br />
numerous Russian forces under charismatic General Skobelev attacked<br />
the city. At that point the two sides were almost equal in numbers<br />
and the Russian Army was quite discouraged, so most analysts agree<br />
that a counter-attack would have allowed the Turks to gain control<br />
and destroy the passing bridge. However, Osman Pasha had orders to<br />
stay fortified in Pleven, and that's exactly what he did.</p>
<p>Russians had no more troops to throw against Pleven, so they laid a siege on it, and asked the Romanians to help with troops. Soon
after that Romanians passed the Danube and joined the siege. They<br />
fought bravely to capture the Grivitza hills around Pleven, and kept<br />
them under their control from there on, to the very end of the<br />
siege. The siege (July–December 1877) turned to victory only after<br />
Russians cut off all supply routes of the fortified Turks, starving<br />
them and thus forcing them to surrender.</p>

<p class="SmallText"><b>A monument in Armenia to commemorate the Armenian resistance to Islam’s Jihad under the Ottoman Turks.</b></p>
<p class="SmallText"><b>The string of defeats of the Turks by the Russians and the defeats inflicted by the British using Lawrence of
Arabia to foment rebellion in the Turkish vilayets (provinces of the<br />
Ottoman empire) in the Middle East, eventually led to the downfall<br />
of the Ottoman empire and the liberation of Christian lands in<br />
Armenia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece. While some of the lands<br />
like Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo had been lost to Christendom as its<br />
original Christian population had been converted by the Turks to<br />
Islam with their merciless tyranny over six centuries. But the<br />
chivalry of Russian arms along with the valiance of freedom fighters<br />
in Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, Armenia finally lead to the<br />
end of the Turkish Jihad against Russia and Europe in a disgraceful<br />
defeat for the Muslims and a cherished victory for the Russians and<br />
liberated the people of the Balkans.</b></p>
<center><p><b>__________________________________</b></p>

<p>The Russians also succeeded in capturing the passes at the Stara Planina mountain which was crucial for maneuvering. Ironically they
took control of the Shipka pass, after the Turkish troops there,<br />
having repelled several attacks evacuated. Later on Turks made<br />
considerable efforts to recapture this important route that could<br />
help them reinforce Osman Pasha in Pleven, but all in vain. The<br />
Turkish offensive against the Shipka pass is considered one of the<br />
major mistakes of the war, as there were other passes that were<br />
virtually unguarded.</p>
<p>All this time a huge number of Turkish troops stayed fortified along the Black Sea coast and engaged in very few operations. A
strong Finnish contingent as well as a Romanian corps and volunteer<br />
brigades from the local Bulgarian population took part in the war<br />
fighting on the side the Russians. This showed that the different<br />
kingdoms in Christendom, still had the vision of looking upon the<br />
Muslim Turks as their common enemy.</p>
<p><b>Russians almost reach Istanbul, British intrigue saves the Turkish capital from being captured for Christendom in 1878</b></p>
<p>In February 1878 the Russian army had almost reached Istanbul, but scared the city might fall to the Russians, the British sent a
fleet of ships. Under negotiating "help" from that fleet and the<br />
fact that the Russians had suffered such enormous losses (by some<br />
estimates about 200,000 men) Russia settled for the Treaty of San<br />
Stefano (March 3), which was later (July 13) succeeded by the Treaty<br />
of Berlin, 1878.</p>
<p>The stellar role played by the Finnish battalion was recognized by the Tsar. In his gratitude to the Finnish battalion, the Tsar
elevated the battalion to the name Old Guard Battalion, which they<br />
still hold in the modern Finnish Military. But unfortunately, this<br />
eight Russo-Turkish war saw how British intrigue saved the Turkish<br />
capital from being captured for Christendom in 1878 a city that had<br />
been lost by Christendom to the Muslims more than four hundred years<br />
back, in 1453.</p>
<p><b>The last Russo-Turkish War (First World War 1914-1918)</b></p>
<p>With the European nations battling each other in the First World War, Turkey miscalculated that the Germans and Austro-Hungarians
would win, and it joined this alliance, against the alliance of the<br />
Russians, British and French. The Russian army in the initial stages<br />

</p>
<p>These string of defeats of the Turks by the Russians and the defeats inflicted by the British using Lawrence of Arabia to foment
rebellion in the Turkish vilayets (provinces of the Ottoman empire)<br />
in the Middle East, eventually led to the downfall of the Ottoman<br />
empire and its replacement by the secular republic by Mustapha Kemal<br />
Pasha. This lead to the end of the Turkish Jihad against Russia and<br />
Europe in a disgraceful defeat for the Muslims but a cherished<br />
victory for the Russians and for the liberated people of the<br />
Balkans.</p>
