Anglo-Turkish War (1807–1809)

The Anglo-Ottoman War was a conflict that took place during the Napoleonic Wars between 1807 and 1809. In the summer of 1806, during the War of the Third Coalition (of Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, Sweden), Napoleon's ambassador General Count Sebastiani managed to convince the Porte to cancel all special privileges granted to Russia in 1805 and to open the Ottoman straits (the Dardanelles) exclusively to French warships. In return, Napoleon promised to help the Sultan suppress a rebellion in Serbia and to recover lost Ottoman territories. When the Russian army marched into Moldavia and Wallachia in 1806, the Ottomans declared war on Russia.
