Description

A large map of the Black Sea with a title cartouche featuring a military camp before a fortified town and an inset map of Bukovina in Moldavia. The war began after the Ottomans demanded the return of the Crimea, lost to Russia in the previous war. The Ottomans were unaware that Russia had allied with the Austrians, and found themeselves fighting two wars. The 1792 Treaty of Jassy recognized Russia's of the Crimean Khanate with Yedisan added.
