1711

1711 was a common year in the early 18th century. The War of the Spanish Succession continued to shape European politics, with fighting across the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and the Low Countries as Bourbon and Allied forces grappled for advantage.

In the eastern Mediterranean and southeastern Europe, Russia and the Ottoman Empire contended in the later stages of the Russo-Turkish War (1710–1711). The Pruth River Campaign ended in 1711 with the signing of the Treaty of the Pruth, in which Russia agreed to withdraw its forces and ceded the fortress of Azov to the Ottomans, marking a temporary settlement in the conflict.

Notable births in 1711 include Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, who would become a prominent Russian polymath, scientist, and writer.

Culturally, the early 18th century continued to be shaped by the Baroque style in music, architecture, and the arts, while scientific inquiry and Enlightenment ideas began to gain wider circulation in various regions.
