Right-bank Campaign (1674)
The right-bank campaign of 1674 was the military actions of Moscow and Ukrainian troops under the leadership of the left-bank Hetman Ivan Samoilovych and Grigory Romodanovsky against the forces of the right-bank Hetman Petro Doroshenko, aimed at spreading royal power to right-bank Ukraine. Background With the signing of the Treaty of Buchach in 1672, a Cossack state on the right bank of the Dnieper was recognised and Moscow sought to extend its influence there. Left-bank hetman Ivan Samoilovych was instructed to negotiate with right-bank hetman Petro Doroshenko for Moscow's protection, but he feared losing his power. Doroshenko was willing to accept Moscow's supremacy under certain conditions, including armed assistance and maintaining Cossack freedoms, but Moscow preferred having separate hetmans for each bank and refused to meet all of Doroshenko's demands.

Militaries are typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with their members identifiable by a distinct military uniform.

Battles Involving The Crimean Khanate
A battle is an occurrence of combat in warfare between opposing military units of any number or size. A war usually consists of multiple battles. In general, a battle is a military engagement that is well defined in duration, area, and force commitment. An engagement with only limited commitment between the forces and without decisive results is sometimes called a skirmish. The word "battle" can also be used infrequently to refer to an entire operational campaign, although this usage greatly diverges from its conventional or customary meaning. Generally, the word "battle" is used for such campaigns if referring to a protracted combat encounter in which either one or both of the combatants had the same methods, resources, and strategic objectives throughout the encounter. Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and the Battle of France, all in World War II.

Sieges Involving The Ottoman Empire
A siege () . is a military blockade of a city, or fortress, with the intent of conquering by attrition, or by well-prepared assault. Siege warfare (also called siegecrafts or poliorcetics) is a form of constant, low-intensity conflict characterized by one party holding a strong, static, defensive position. Consequently, an opportunity for negotiation between combatants is common, as proximity and fluctuating advantage can encourage diplomacy. A siege occurs when an attacker encounters a city or fortress that cannot be easily taken by a quick assault, and which refuses to surrender. Sieges involve surrounding the target to block provision of supplies and reinforcement or escape of troops (a tactic known as "investment"). This is typically coupled with attempts to reduce the fortifications by means of siege engines, artillery bombardment, mining (also known as sapping), or the use of deception or treachery to bypass defenses. Failing a military outcome, sieges can often be deci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
