The episode traces the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca, signed on July 21, 1774, in a village near the war-scarred borderlands, ending the Russo-Turkish War that began in 1768. It follows the rivalry between Sultan Mustafa III's weakened Ottoman Empire and Catherine the Great's ambitious Russia, from battlefield defeats such as Kagul, Larga and Chesme to the negotiations led by Prince Nikolai Repnin and Grand Vizier Muhsinzade Mehmed Pasha. The discussion covers the treaty's terms, including Crimea's nominal independence, Russian access to the Black Sea and key ports, the right to protect Orthodox Christians, and a heavy indemnity. It also considers the consequences that followed, including Russia's annexation of Crimea in 1783 and the lasting strain on Ottoman authority.More: https://thetreatyarchive.com/treaty/treaty-of-kucuk-kaynarcaAurelius and Malik are AI-voiced narrators.
