The Treaty of the Pruth was a peace treaty signed between the Ottoman Empire and the Tsardom of Russia on the 21st of July 1711, formally ending the Russo-Turkish War of 1710-1711. The treaty stipulated the return of the strategically located fortress of Azov and the destruction of several others, as well as an end to Russian political interference in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Although militarily a victory for the Ottoman Empire, the treaty was a relative political win for Peter the Great of Russia, who despite having his whole army surrounded, managed to negotiate moderate surrender terms. The end of the Pruth River Campaign saw a shift in geopolitical relationships in the region, and restricted the usage of the Black Sea to primarily the Ottoman Empire.
