  Russo-Turkish War (1787-1792) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Russo-Turkish War (1787-1792) involved a futile attempt by the Ottoman Empire to regain lands lost to Russia in the course of the previous Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774.
In 1788 war was declared, but Turkey's preparations were inadequate and the moment was ill-chosen, now that Russia and Austria were in alliance, a fact of which Turkey became aware only when the horsetails were planted for the campaign.
Accordingly the Treaty of Jassy was signed with Russia on 9 January 1792 by which Russia's 1783 annexation of the Crimean Khanate was recognized, Yedisan (Hacibey and Ochakov) was ceded to Russia, and the Dniester was made the frontier in Europe, while the Asiatic frontier — Kuban River — remained unchanged.

Russo-Turkish War of 1676-1681, a war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, caused by the spreading Turkish aggression in the second half of the 17th century.
The War was the catalyst for the Bolshevik Russian Revolution, which would inspire later Communist revolutions in countries as diverse as China and Cuba, and would lay the basis for the Cold War standoff between the Soviet Union and the United States.
Dissatisfaction with the Russian government's conduct of the war grew despite the success of the June 1916 Brusilov offensive in eastern Galicia against the Austrians, when Russian success was undermined by the reluctance of other generals to commit their forces in support of the victorious sector commander.

 Russo-Turkish Wars
The Russo-Turkish Wars were the result of Russian attempts to find an outlet on the Black Sea and—in later stages—to conquer the Caucasus, dominate the Balkan Peninsula, gain control of the Dardanelles and Bosporus straits, and retain access to world trade routes.
The first major Russo-Turkish War, that of 1768–74, was an indirect result of Russian interference in Poland.
In World War I, Russia and the Ottoman Empire faced each other once more; Russia sided with the traditional allies of the Ottomans—England and France—while the Ottomans fought with the former partners of Russia—Austria and Bulgaria.

Turkish forces inside the fortress had the orders to stand their ground to the end and haughtily declined Russian ultimatum.
If the tactics of the Russians in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 - 1905 reflected too literally some of the maxims of Suvorov’s Turkish wars, the spirit of self-sacrifice, resolution and indifference to losses there shown formed a precious legacy from those wars.
