Russo Turkish War of 1735 1739, a war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, caused by intensified contradictions over the results of the War of the Polish Succession of 1733 1735 and endless raids by the Crimean Tatars. The war also represented Russia''s continuing struggle for the access to the Black Sea. By the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish war, Russia had managed to secure a favorable international situation by signing a few treaties with Persia in 1732 1735 (which was at war with Turkey in 1730 1736) and supporting the accession to the Polish throne of Augustus III in 1735 instead of the French protégé Stanislaw I Leszczynski, nominated by pro-Turkish France. Austria had been Russia''s ally since 1726.
