Russia's interest in conquering the Ottoman Empire historically stemmed from a desire to expand its territory, enhance its influence in the Balkans, and gain access to warm-water ports for trade and military purposes. The Ottoman Empire's decline presented an opportunity for Russia to assert its dominance in southeastern Europe and the Black Sea region. Additionally, Russia sought to protect and promote Orthodox Christianity in areas under Ottoman control, aligning with its broader geopolitical and cultural objectives. Ultimately, conquering the Ottoman Empire would have strengthened Russia's position as a major power in Eurasia.
