Science Fair Projects - Russo-Turkish War, 1787-92 After a long siege Ochakov fell to Prince Potemkin, and all its inhabitants were massacred. Sultan Selim was anxious to restore his country's prestige by a victory before making peace, but the condition of his troops rendered this hope unavailing; while Prussia, though on the 31st of January 1790 she had signed an offensive treaty with Turkey, gave her no help during the war. Accordingly a treaty was signed with Russia at Jassy (Jan. 9, 1792) by which the Crimea and Ochakov were left to Russia, the Dniester was made the frontier in Europe, and the Asiatic frontier remained unchanged. www.all-science-fair-projects.com /science_fair_projects_encyclopedia/Russo-Turkish_War%2C_1787-92   (475 words)

When I read on page 101 a capton "Ochakov - another Suvorov's victory" I thought for a moment that it was a little mistake that could be found even at best-researched books.

E-Books : East Central Europe, A History of: 15: The Partitions of Poland and the Eastern Question - Historical Text ... While nobody questioned her conquest of distant Azov, her determination to keep the port and fortress of Ochakov, which had been conquered after a long siege by Field Marshal Suvorov, almost provoked a general European crisis, although the place—not far from present-day Odessa—had been practically unknown in the West. The majority which supported him in that matter was so small, however, that he could not risk the danger of a war against Russia and gave up his protest.     It was easy for the opposition leader, Fox, to argue that the question of Ochakov could hardly affect the balance of power in Europe, and for Edmund Burke to wonder whether the Ottoman Empire could be considered a member of the European state system at all. www.historicaltextarchive.com /books.php?op=viewbook&bookid=1&cid=15   (5253 words)

Foreign Affairs - The Great Game in Asia - David Fromkin The Great Game arose from a complex of disagreements between Britain and Russia, and the weight to be assigned to each of the causes of the rivalry between them is still a subject of dispute among historians. In the beginning, in 1791, when the British Prime Minister, William Pitt, opposed czarist annexation of Ochakov, a strategic port town belonging to the Ottoman Empire, it was for fear that Russia might become too powerful and might upset the existing balance of power. But for a long time thereafter, that fear was forgotten as Britain and Russia both fought for their lives against Napoleon. www.foreignaffairs.org /19800301faessay8262/david-fromkin/the-great-game-in-asia.html   (600 words)
