A ceasefire between Russia and the Ottoman…

August 1772 CE

A ceasefire between Russia and the Ottoman Empire commences on May 30, 1772, but real negotiations do not begin until August 8.

The peace talks breakdown almost immediately over the Crimea, but the truce is extended until March 20, 1773.

Both parties have reasons to expand the negotiations, primarily to do with both sides wanting to keep fighting on a single front.

The Ottomans are now quelling rebellions from Egypt and Syria, while also facing incursions from Persia.

The Russians are facing a revival of a centralized Sweden, which has undergone a coup by King Gustav  III.
