Europe 1833: Convention of Kütahya

The 1832 Egyptian victory over the Ottoman Empire at Konya left Constantinople defenseless, driving the Sultan to request Russian support. The landing of Russian troops in the Bosporus alarmed Britain and France, who pushed for an immediate end to the war. The result was the Convention of Kütahya, in which the Ottomans reluctantly agreed to cede Syria, Adana, and Crete to Egypt.
