1789 CE

The Ottoman Empire by 1789 is being pressed back in Moldavia by Russian and Austrian forces.

To make matters worse, on August 1 the Russians under Suvorov attain a victory against the Ottomans led by Osman Pasha at Focsani, followed by a Russian victory at Rymnik (or Rimnik) on September 22, and drive them away from near the Râmnicul Sărat river.

Suvorov is given the title Count Rymniksky following the battle.

The Ottomans suffer more losses when the Austrians, under General Gideon E. von Laudon repels an Ottoman invasion of Bosnia, while an Austrian counterattack takes Belgrade.
