Suvorov, Alexander

(1729 or 1730 –1800) was a Russian general in service of the Russian Empire. He was the last Generalissimo of the Russian Empire. Suvorov is considered one of the greatest military commanders in Russian history. He was awarded numerous medals, titles, and honors by Russia, as well as by other countries. Suvorov secured Russia’s expanded borders and renewed military prestige and left a legacy of theories on warfare. He never lost a single major battle he had commanded.
For his accomplishments, he was made a Count of both the Russian Empire and Holy Roman Empire.
During the Russo–Turkish War of 1787–1792 (one of a series of 13 wars between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire between 1568 and 1918, being one of the longest conflicts in European history) Suvorov, commanded an army of Imperial Russian and Habsburg troops. He defeated the Ottomans forces near Focsani (Romania).
