Answer 1

Pruth was the place where Peter was surrounded by Turks during the Russo-Turkish War in 1711.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pruth was the place where Peter was surrounded by Turks. This event took place in 1711 during the Russo-Turkish War. Peter the Great of Russia found himself trapped by the Ottomans near the Pruth River in Moldavia. After negotiations, Peter was able to secure the safe retreat of his army, but had to accept unfavorable terms in a treaty with the Ottoman Empire.

Pruth refers to the Pruth River and the related events that took place in 1711. The correct option is:

c. place where Peter was surrounded by Turks.

During the Russo-Turkish War of 1710–1711, the Russian forces, led by Tsar Peter the Great, found themselves surrounded by the Ottoman Turks near the Pruth River. This led to the disastrous Pruth River Campaign. Peter negotiated the Treaty of the Pruth, a peace settlement that ended the conflict. The treaty, while unfavorable to the Russians, allowed them to retreat from the Ottoman Empire relatively intact. The Pruth River became synonymous with this diplomatic resolution in the face of military adversity.
