Overview
Sultan Abd al-Hamid I (1187–1203 AH / 1773–1788 CE), son of Ahmad III. He came to the throne after the death of his brother Mustafa III, having been kept confined in his palace during the reigns of his brothers. 2
Russia defeated the Ottomans at Varna, and the Grand Vizier asked for peace. The Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca was signed in 1187 AH / 1774 CE. The treaty recognised the independence of Crimea and the freedom of Russian navigation in the Black and Mediterranean seas, and it allowed Russia to build a church in Galata and to protect the Christian churches. Al-Salabi holds that it effectively ended Ottoman control of the Black Sea. 2
