The Treaty of Kutschuk Kainardzhi was signed on July 21, 1774, in Küçük Kaynarca, Dobruja (today Kaynardzha, Silistra Province, Bulgaria) between the Russian Empire (represented by Field-Marshal Rumyantsev) and the Ottoman Empire after the Ottoman Empire was defeated in the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774. The most significant aspect of this treaty to naval history is that it gave Russia access to warm water ports and passage through the Dardanelles.
