Russia, at the beginning of the reign of Tsar Peter in 1692 is a huge territorial power, but with no access to the Black Sea, the Caspian, or to the Baltic, and to win such an outlet has become the main goal of Peter's foreign policy.
The first steps taken in this direction is the campaign of 1695 to capture Azov from the Crimean Tatar vassals of Turkey.
On the one hand, the Azov campaign can be seen as fulfilling Russia's commitments, undertaken during Sophia's regency, to the anti-Turkish “Holy League” of 1684 (Austria, Poland, and Venice); on the other they are intended to secure the southern frontier against Tatar raids, as well as to approach the Black Sea.
