The Great Northern War[1] was a war fought in Northern, Central and Eastern Europe between 1700 and 1721 for supremacy in the Baltic region. In March 1700, a tripartite alliance consisting of the Russian Tsarist Empire and the two personal unions of Saxony-Poland and Denmark-Norway attacked the Swedish Empire, which was ruled by the eighteen-year-old King Charles XII. Despite the unfavourable starting position, the Swedish king initially remained victorious and managed to get Denmark-Norway (1700) and Saxe-Poland (1706) to withdraw from the war. When he set out to defeat Russia in a final campaign from 1708, the Swedes suffered a devastating defeat at the Battle of Poltava in July 1709, which marked the turning point of the war. - Wikipedia -
