Russian diplomacy before the war

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)
and supporting the accession to the Polish throne of Augustus III in
1735 instead of the French protégé Stanislaw I Leszczynski,
nominated by pro-Turkish French.

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
Russian commanders envisioned the seizure of Azov and the Crimea.

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
Bakhchisaray on June 17. However, lack of supplies coupled with the
outbreak of an epidemic forced the Russians to retreat to Ukraine.
But nevertheless, this marked the successful Russian campaign
against the Ottomans in rolling back the Jihad from Russian soil. A
campaign that as to take the Russian armies all over the Balkans up
to Greece, to finally eject the Ottomans from Europe.

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
of Vice Admiral Peter Bredahl seized the fortress of Azov. In July
of 1737, Von Munich’s army took the Turkish fortress of Ochakov by
storm. The army (already 40,000 men strong) marched into the Crimea
the same month, inflicting a number of defeats on the army of the
Crimean khan and capturing Karasubazar.

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.
There were no significant military operations in 1738. The Russian
army had to leave Ochakov and Kinburn due to the outbreak of plague.

Russia is one country which can carry the crusade against Jihad into the Middle East, and destroy the enemy utterly.

In our age, Beslan (the site where hundreds of school kids were slaughtered by the Chechen Jihadi terrorists) is a challenge to the Russian and the general human spirit. Russia needs
to awaken its spirit if it is to save itself from further savagery.
Russia can do it, and Russia can do it alone as it did with the
Tartars, with Napoleon and with the Nazis. The Tartars were defeated
by Russia absolutely single-handedly, while in the war with Napoleon
and with the Nazis too, the Western allies came into the picture
after Russia had defeated the invader on Russia's home ground
single-handedly. Likewise today, Russia needs to take the lead in
the war on terror – America and the West will follow, as Waterloo
(in 1815) followed Borodino in 1812 and Normandy (in 1944) followed
Stalingrad in 1942.

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
once again and signed a separate peace treaty with the Ottoman
Empire on August 21, 1739. This, coupled with the imminent threat of
the Swedish invasion, forced Russia to sign the Belgrade Peace
Treaty with the Ottomans on September 18, 1739 which ended the war.

The fifth Russo-Turkish War, 1787-92

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
Austria getting increasingly entangled on its Western frontier with
France, it fell on Russia’s shoulders to hold the fort against
further Ottoman incursions into Europe. This war saw Russian armies
inflict a string of defeats on the Turks, softening them for the
assaults to follow in the next hundred and fifty years that was to
finally drive the Turks from Europe and place Turkey at the mercy of
Russia and other Christian powers of Europe.
 

The sixth Russo-Turkish War, 1806-1812 - final defeat of the Jihadis in Russia

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
Europe in general in the 15th to the 18th centuries. This war and
subsequent wars took Russians armies out of Russia proper into
Moldavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Georgia, Armenia and
into Turkey proper in their battle against the Ottoman Jihadis.

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.

The Greeks' struggle for independence sparked the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829, in which Russian forces advanced into Bulgaria, the Caucasus, and northeastern Anatolia itself before
the Turks sued for peace. The resulting Treaty of Adrianople (Edirne)
in September 14, 1829 gave Russia most of the eastern shore of the
Black Sea and the mouth of the Danube. Turkey recognized Russian
sovereignty over Georgia and parts of present-day Armenia. Serbia
achieved autonomy and Russia was allowed to occupy Moldavia and
Walachia (guaranteeing their prosperity, and full "liberty of trade"
for them) until Turkey had paid a large indemnity.

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
relations with Napoleonic France were so uncertain. In 1811, with
the prospect of a Franco-Russian war in sight, Russia sought a quick
decision on its southern frontier. The Russian field marshal M.I.
Kutuzov's victorious campaign of 1811-12 forced the Turks to cede
Bessarabia to Russia by the Treaty of Bucharest in May 28, 1812

The seventh Russo-Turkish war of 1828-1829

The Greeks' struggle for independence sparked the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829, in which Russian forces advanced into Bulgaria, the Caucasus, and northeastern Anatolia itself before the Turks sued
for peace. The resulting Treaty of Adrianople (Edirne) in September
14, 1829 gave Russia most of the eastern shore of the Black Sea and
the mouth of the Danube. Turkey recognized Russian sovereignty over
Georgia and parts of present-day Armenia. Serbia achieved autonomy
and Russia was allowed to occupy Moldavia and Walachia (guaranteeing
their prosperity, and full "liberty of trade" for them) until Turkey
had paid a large indemnity.

The eight Russo-Turkish war (the Crimean War)

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.

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
Russia as a competitor in their race for colonies in Asia and wanted
to prevent Russia from emerging as a naval power. Had Russia
defeated and crushed the Ottoman empire in this war, Russians navies
would have entered the Mediterranean and eventually countered
British efforts to dominate the Middle East and South Asia. So
Britain shrewdly decided to ally itself with the eternal foes of
Christendom, the Muslim Ottoman Turks. This war is called the
Crimean war, since the majority of the conflict took place around
the Crimean peninsula on the Black Sea.

Religions overtones and origins of the Crimean war

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
semi-autonomous vassals of the Ottoman Empire, resulting in a
declaration of war by the Ottomans in late 1853. The Russians, under
the command of Admiral Nakhimov, the hero of the Battle of Navarino,
sank the Ottoman fleet at Sinop on November 30.

______________________________

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
penetration into the Mediterranean. The Russians had to scuttle
their ships and use their naval cannons as additional artillery, and
the ships' crews as marines. Admiral Nakhimov was mortally wounded
in the head by a sniper shot, and died on June 30, 1855. The city
was finally captured in September 1855. In the same year, the
Russians occupied the Turkish city of Kars.

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
on the Ottoman side, causing the Russians to withdraw from the
occupied areas, which were immediately occupied by the Austrians, in
August 1854.
 

Siege of Sevastopol

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.
The Russians had to scuttle their ships and use their naval cannons
as additional artillery, and the ships' crews as marines. Admiral
Nakhimov was mortally wounded in the head by a sniper shot, and died
on June 30, 1855. The city was finally captured in September 1855.
In the same year, the Russians occupied the Turkish city of Kars.
After the occupation of Sevastopol following large-scale devastation
and the accession of Alexander II peace negotiations began. The war
ended with the Treaty of Paris (1856).

The Infamous character of the Crimean war

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
all through history, they had not till the Crimean war, sought to
defeat another Christian power by aligning themselves with a Muslim
power.

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
nation.

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
this was to be largely (if not totally) reversed on that fateful
day on 9/11.

The ninth Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 had its origins in the Russian goal of gaining access to the Mediterranean Sea and dominating Constantinople (Istanbul) and the adjacent Turkish
Straits. However, due to the bad experience of seeing Christian
European powers aligning themselves against Russia and in favor of
the Muslim Turks during the Crimean War, Russian diplomacy
advertised the war as an effort of liberating the Christian Slav and
Hellenic peoples of the Balkan Peninsula of south-eastern Europe
from the Turkish-ruled Ottoman Empire.

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 cities to force a surrender. Despite these despicable and
gory inhuman practices, the Bulgars held their own against their
tormentors and forced Turkey to negotiate a Conference for granting
autonomy to Bulgaria.

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.
Despite some setbacks, the uprising continued well over the end of
1875 and eventually triggered the Bulgarian April uprising of 1876.

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.

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
themselves depending on the outcome.

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
committed against the civilian Slav population during the war and
during the Bulgarian April uprising had a wide-spread response
throughout Europe.

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
cities to force a surrender. Despite these despicable and gory
inhuman practices, the Bulgars held their own against their
tormentors and forced Turkey to negotiate a Conference for granting
autonomy to Bulgaria.

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
one or more future autonomous Bulgarian provinces within the Ottoman
Empire.

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
minorities and Bulgarians would enjoy equal rights with all Ottoman
citizens. Despite that, Russia did not trust the Ottomans, given the
Ottoman policy of deceit based on the Islamic practice of Taqiya
(deception). The Russians remained hostile towards the Ottoman
Empire, speculating that this Turkish overture was no permanent
solution to the liberation of the Balkans. The remaining European
powers were paralyzed by strong civil support for the idea of
Bulgarian independence.

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
Turks had about 160,000 troops on the Balkan peninsula. Turkish
troops were better armed. The Turks had the advantage of being
fortified, and they also had a complete command of the Black Sea,
and had patrol boats along the Danube river.

______________________________

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, as against
the alliance of the Russians, British and French. The Russian army
in the initial stages of the war, gave a severe drubbing to the
Turks. The Russians were to eventually get embroiled in their
Revolutions in 1918 and 1920. Despite this the Turks got a body blow
from which they were to never recover. For all their fearsomeness
and cruelty, the Turks were finally reduced to dust by the Russians,
British and French in World War 1, which saw the sun set over not
just the Ottoman jihad’s threat to Europe, but also to the last
Islamic Caliphate (Khilafah). The corpse of which Osama Bin Laden
and his one billion Muslim cohorts want to revive!

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
and to counter them. They preferred to stay fortified and wait until
the Russians knocked on their doors. At the beginning of the war
Russians destroyed all vessels along the Danube, and mined the
river, thus ensuring they could cross the Danube at any point they
want. This again didn't ring the bells of alarm for the Turkish
command.

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
right through the middle of the Turkish stronghold. Then in July the
Russians constructed a bridge up the Danube at Svishtov, and started
passing unobstructed. There were no significant Turkish troops in
the area. The command in Istanbul ordered Osman Pasha to march in
that direction and fortify in the nearby fortress of Nikopol.
(Remember this was the town of Nicopolis which saw the first
Bulgarian and Turkish battles, when the Turkish Jihadis had first
invaded the Balkans.)

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,
numerous Russian forces under charismatic General Skobelev attacked
the city. At that point the two sides were almost equal in numbers
and the Russian Army was quite discouraged, so most analysts agree
that a counter-attack would have allowed the Turks to gain control
and destroy the passing bridge. However, Osman Pasha had orders to
stay fortified in Pleven, and that's exactly what he did.

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
fought bravely to capture the Grivitza hills around Pleven, and kept
them under their control from there on, to the very end of the
siege. The siege (July–December 1877) turned to victory only after
Russians cut off all supply routes of the fortified Turks, starving
them and thus forcing them to surrender.

A monument in Armenia to commemorate the Armenian resistance to Islam’s Jihad under the Ottoman Turks.

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
Ottoman empire) in the Middle East, eventually led to the downfall
of the Ottoman empire and the liberation of Christian lands in
Armenia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece. While some of the lands
like Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo had been lost to Christendom as its
original Christian population had been converted by the Turks to
Islam with their merciless tyranny over six centuries. But the
chivalry of Russian arms along with the valiance of freedom fighters
in Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, Armenia finally lead to the
end of the Turkish Jihad against Russia and Europe in a disgraceful
defeat for the Muslims and a cherished victory for the Russians and
liberated the people of the Balkans.

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,
having repelled several attacks evacuated. Later on Turks made
considerable efforts to recapture this important route that could
help them reinforce Osman Pasha in Pleven, but all in vain. The
Turkish offensive against the Shipka pass is considered one of the
major mistakes of the war, as there were other passes that were
virtually unguarded.

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
brigades from the local Bulgarian population took part in the war
fighting on the side the Russians. This showed that the different
kingdoms in Christendom, still had the vision of looking upon the
Muslim Turks as their common enemy.

Russians almost reach Istanbul, British intrigue saves the Turkish capital from being captured for Christendom in 1878

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
fact that the Russians had suffered such enormous losses (by some
estimates about 200,000 men) Russia settled for the Treaty of San
Stefano (March 3), which was later (July 13) succeeded by the Treaty
of Berlin, 1878.

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
still hold in the modern Finnish Military. But unfortunately, this
eight Russo-Turkish war saw how British intrigue saved the Turkish
capital from being captured for Christendom in 1878 a city that had
been lost by Christendom to the Muslims more than four hundred years
back, in 1453.

The last Russo-Turkish War (First World War 1914-1918)

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
Russians, British and French. The Russian army in the initial stages
of the war, gave a severe drubbing to the Turks. The Russians were
to eventually get embroiled in their Revolutions in 1918 and 1920.

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)
in the Middle East, eventually led to the downfall of the Ottoman
empire and its replacement by the secular republic by Mustapha Kemal
Pasha. This lead to the end of the Turkish Jihad against Russia and
Europe in a disgraceful defeat for the Muslims but a cherished
victory for the Russians and for the liberated people of the
Balkans.
