A TURCO-RUSSIAN WAR 1711 AND THE MOVEMENTS OF TRIBES FROM MONTENEGRO AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: Immediately after the Karlovac Peace Treaty in 1699 the leading circles of the Osmanli Empire considered an idea to start a new war against the members of the Saint League. In order to avoid the war at the same time with several states, they thought it best to declare the war against Russia, A military and political state of affairs among the European countries of the time went in the Turkish favour. According to the Sultan Ahmed Illrd’s idea, a victory over Russia would return to the Turkish Empire its lost territories that the Porte had had to surrender under the terms of the Constantinople Treaty of 1700. A Turco-Russian war broke out officially in the end of 1710, and it was not until the spring months of the next year that the actual fighting started. In the Prut River battle the sultan's army defeated the Russian troops.
