The Great Northern War, which took place from 1700 to 1721, was a significant event in European history. It involved a coalition led by Russia, Denmark-Norway, and Saxony-Poland-Lithuania, aiming to reduce the influence of the Swedish Empire. The coalition fought against Sweden, led by Charles XII. Sweden initially had some successes in the war, but the turning point came at the Battle of Poltava in 1709, where they were defeated by Russia.

The war marked Russia's rise to power and the beginning of Sweden's Age of Liberty.
