Treaty of Nystad
The Treaty of Nystad (1721), signed at the present-day Finnish town of Uusikaupunki, ended the Great Northern War, in which Russia received the territories
of Estonia, Livonia and Ingria, as well as much of Karelia and Tsar Peter I of Russia replaced King Frederick I of Sweden, as ruler of the conquered provinces. It marked the advent of Russia as a european
power in place of Sweden. The conflict with the other parties, Hannover, Kingdom of
Prussia and Denmark was concluded by the Stockholm treaties in
1719 and 1720.
