From 1700 to 1721 Peter the Great led Russia in a war against Sweden. From this war, Russia gained control over territory along the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. This land gave Russia a direct approach by water to the rest of Europe. On this captured land Peter had the city of St. Petersburg built in 1703. In 1722 and 1723 Peter attacked Persia and conquered territory along the Caspian Sea. These conquests helped Russia to expand its trade with other countries. I hope that this has been a help to you.
