The Ottoman–Swedish Treaty (1739) was a defensive alliance aimed against Russia signed between the Ottoman Empire and Sweden in 1739.
Stipulations[edit]
- A defensive alliance between the Ottomans and Swedes directed against Russia is established.[1][2]
- Both countries pledge to support the other one in the event of a Russian attack on one of them.[3]
- Both countries promise to observe the treaty.[4]
- If it is observed that Russia is preparing for a war against either party, the two powers are to attempt to prevent it.[4]
- If Russia declares war against either party, neither the Ottomans or Swedes will enter into seperate peace negotiations.[4]
- The previous trade treaty in 1737 is confirmed.[4]
Result[edit]
The alliance was not particularly well received across Europe. France had fears that Sweden would be tempted by the alliance and begin a new war against Russia. As for Russia, the Emperor was infuriated over what was considered Swedish duplicity.[3]
