Battle of Caracal was an engagement battle between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire in Wallachia, Caracal in 1854. Previous events that happened earlier, by January 1854, despite the set back at Cetatea–the Russian forces would continue to laid siege at Calafat. With that, the siege would continuously keep forwarding at May 1854, as the Russians would evidently keep being involved in the siege.
However, with Russian strategically aiming to laid siege at Calafat at May 1854, the Ottomans would be involved and fought with the Russians foes, and later on the Ottomans would eventually succeed the battle and beating the Russians in Wallachia at Caracal simultaneously at the same year.
