History of Europe: Turkish collapse and Peace Treaty
In the 1774 account, Turkish forces desert en masse under Kamenski and Suwarow, Mutiny spreads, and the grand vizir’s army disintegrates at Schumla. Romanzow traps the Turkish camp, leading to a peace signed July 71 at which Russia gains naval rights and Crimea independence, while Prussia gains influence and empires face a costly end to a long war.
