Battle of Küçük Kaynarca

Following Rumyantsev's order on July 2, 1773, Weismann moved to meet Numan Pasha's army, and on July 3 attacked his camp. The Turks fought bravely at the beginning and were able to break through Weismann's infantry square wounding him in the heart. The Russian army fiercely repelled this attack and the morale of the Ottoman troops fell; the Russians did not spare even the prisoners.^[1][4]

A year later, an agreement was signed at the site of the battle, which stopped 6 years of bloodshed between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. The agreement was very beneficial to the Russians and the Turks ceded significant territories.^[5]
