Treaty of Constantinople (1700)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Constantinople was signed on July 14, 1700 between Russia and the Ottoman Empire and ended the Russo-Turkish War of 1686-1700. In the aftermath of the Azov campaigns and Treaty of Karlowitz, Turkey recognized Russia's possession of Azov and the newly built fortress of Taganrog. The peace with the Sultan allowed Tsar Peter the Great to declare war on Sweden.
