The Ottoman–Swedish Treaty (1739) was a defensive alliance aimed against Russia signed between the Ottoman Empire and Sweden in 1739.

Stipulations

  • A defensive alliance between the Ottomans and Swedes directed against Russia is established. [1] [2]
  • Both countries pledge to support the other one in the event of a Russian attack on one of them. [3]
  • Both countries promise to observe the treaty. [4]
  • If it is observed that Russia is preparing for a war against either party, the two powers are to attempt to prevent it. [4]
  • If Russia declares war against either party, neither the Ottomans or Swedes will enter into seperate peace negotiations. [4]
  • The previous trade treaty in 1737 is confirmed. [4]

Result

The alliance was not particularly well received across Europe. France had fears that Sweden would be tempted by the alliance and begin a new war against Russia. As for Russia, the Emperor was infuriated over what was considered Swedish duplicity. [3]
