|text=The Great Northern War was the war fought between a coalition of Russia, Denmark-Norway, and Saxony-Poland (from 1715 also Prussia and Hanover) on one side and Sweden with some help from the Ottoman Empire on the other side from 1700 to 1721. It started by a coordinated attack on Sweden by the coalition in 1700, and ended in 1721 with the conclusion of the Treaty of Nystad, and the Stockholm treaties. A result of the war was the end of the Swedish Empire. Russia supplanted Sweden as the dominant Power on the Baltic Sea and became a major player in European politics.
