| Zusammenfassung: | "In 1711 Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, led a large army of veterans from Poltara and his other Great Northern War victories into the Balkans. He aimed to humble the Ottomans in the same way he had the Swedes a few years before. Victory would secure useful allies in the Balkans, cement Russia's 'Great Power' status and offer Petter the opportunity to finally gain control over the Swedish king, Charles XII, thus completing his victory over Sweden. Yet, within a few months, the 'backward' Ottomans had forced the Tsar and his Tsarina and their army of veterans into a humbling surrender near the Pruth River."--Back cover |
