Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russo-Turkish War, Vol. 1: Including an Account of the Rise and Decline of the Ottoman Power, and the History of the Eastern Question It is to the enterprise of a Frenchman, M. Dc Lesseps, warmly supported by many of his country men, that is due the great undertaking of modern times for uniting Europe with India and Australia by means of a sea canal cut through the Isthmus of Suez. The French have long had a hankering after Egypt. In the reign of Louis XIV. The philosophic politician Leibnitz drew up a paper recommending to the king a conquest of Egypt, from which he anticipated immense benefits to mankind, and especially to France. The memoir was seen by few, but doubtless was known to Napoleon I., who carefully studied it, and en deavoured to put it in practice. His disappoint ment at the ultimate failure of his plan of conquest is said to have drawn from him the complaint that his life was une carriére manquée, a wasted career. The prevailing idea of Leibnitz was that the introduction of a European administration into Egypt would produce more effect in securing the civilization of the East than any other possible proceeding. The reason why the Christian Cru sades produced no lasting result in the East is that they obtained no permanent footing in those regions, nor established any system of government there. Both Philip Augustus of France and Richard Coeur de Lion had striven to capture and retain Damietta, but in vain. Cardinal Ximenes originated a league between Castile, Portugal, and England for the conquest of Egypt; and Michaud, the French historian, believes that the saintly King Louis IX. Meant to colonize the Egyptian territories. He at least established a protectorate over the Latin Christians in Syria that has never yet been absolutely disregarded, and which had no small influence in producing the Crimean War.

Book excerpt: When Russia declared war on the Ottoman Empire in April 1877, it was the fifth time during the nineteenth century that hostilities had broken out between the two empires. On this occasion the other Great Powers had done all they could to prevent it, although public opinion in the West had been shocked by Turkey's brutal repression of the Bulgarian uprising. The war was to be fought in two distinct theaters. In Europe, as on previous occasions, the Russian objective was to cross first the Danube and then the formidable Balkan Mountains before striking for Constantinople. In Asia, over territory also contested many times before, the Russians aimed to seize Kars and then Erzerum. At first all went well for the invaders, the Turks making no serious attempt to hold the line of the Danube, while a thrust south by General Gourko succeeded in crossing the Balkans by a pass not previously considered practicable. At Plevna, however, the Russian advance stalled in the face of the determined defense of the place by the redoubtable Osman Pasha. In Asia, meanwhile, after initial success, the Russian advance was halted by defeat at Zevin. Poor strategic judgment on the part of the Turks led to their failure to take advantage of the opportunity provided by Osman, even after the Russians had suffered three bloody defeats at Plevna. Eventually, after the town was closely invested, it fell to the besiegers. In Asia, the Turks suffered a major defeat in the battle of God's Mountain, and were driven back to Erzerum, while Kars fell to a brilliant assault by the Russian forces. These defeats marked the beginning of the end for the Turks. By January 1878 the Russians were over the Balkans in force, and the last viable Turkish army was surrounded and captured at Shenovo. Armistice negotiations led to a suspension of hostilities and to the treaty of San Stefano. The other Great Powers had watched the conflict with mounting anxiety and were determined to moderate the terms of San Stefano which had imposed harsh conditions on the Ottoman Empire. This, following tortuous diplomatic negotiations, they succeeded in doing at the Congress of Berlin in July 1878. This book, the first military history of the war in English for over a century, traces the course of the campaigns, examining the many occasions on which the outcome of a battle might have gone the other way, and the performance of the combatants, both leaders and led. The book considers the extent to which the parties applied the lessons of recent wars, as well as the conclusions that could be drawn from the experience of combat with the latest weapons. It also explores the complicated motives of the Great Powers in general, and Britain in particular, in bringing about a final settlement, which postponed the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. The author's detailed text is accompanied by an extensive number of black and white illustrations, an impressive color plate section containing reproductions of paintings by artists such as Vereshchagin, plus black and white and color battle maps. Extensive orders of battle are also provided. This is the latest title in Helion's ground-breaking series of 19th Century studies, and will again appear in hardback as a strictly limited edition printing of 1,000 copies, each individually numbered and signed by the author on a decorative title page.

Download or read book The Russo Turkish War 1768 1774 written by Brian L. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russo-Turkish War was one of the most decisive conflicts of the 18th century. In this book, Brian Davies offers a thorough survey of the war and explains why it was crucial to the political triumph of Catherine the Great, the southward expansion of the Russian Empire, and the rollback of Ottoman power from southeastern Europe. The war completed the incorporation of Ukraine into the Russian Empire, ended the independence of the great Cossack hosts, removed once and for all the military threat from the Crimean Khanate, began the partitions of Poland, and encouraged Catherine II to plan projects to complete the "liberation" of the lower Danubian and Balkan Slavs and Greeks. The war legitimated and secured the power of Catherine II, finally made the Pontic steppe safe for agricultural colonization, and won ports enabling Russia to control the Black Sea and become a leading grain exporter. Traditionally historians (Sorel, for example) have treated this war as the beginning of the "Eastern Question," the question of how the European powers should manage the decline of the Ottoman Empire. A thorough grasp of the Russo-Turkish War is essential to understanding the complexity and volatility of diplomacy in 18th-century Europe. This book will be an invaluable resource for all scholars and students on European military history and the history of Eastern Europe.

This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russo-Turkish wars were a series of twelve wars fought between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 20th centuries. It was one of the longest series of military conflicts in European history. Except for the war of 1710-11 and the Crimean War, which is often treated as a separate event, the conflicts ended disastrously for the stagnating Ottoman Empire; conversely they showcased the ascendancy of Russia as a European power after the modernisation efforts of Peter the Great in the early 18th century. In this Russo-Turkish Wars Book, you will discover: - Introduction - The Ottomans and Russians in the 16th Century - The First Conflicts - The War for Ukraine - The Great Turkish War - The Black Sea and Central Europe - Catherine the Great's Wars - The Dawn of the 19th Century - And so much more!

Annual ParaUax. 95. We have already seen that no displacement of the observer due to a change of position on the earth's surface could apparently affect the direction of a fixed star. However, as the earth in its annual motion describes an orbit of about 92 million miles radius round the sun, the different positions in space from which an observer views the fixed stars from time to time throughout the year must be separated ...
