Peter the Great's defeat of Sweden in the Great Northern War marked a significant turning point for Russia, establishing it as a major European power. The victory at the Battle of Poltava in 1709 led to the decline of Sweden's influence and allowed Russia to expand its territory and secure access to the Baltic Sea. This newfound prominence enabled Peter to implement extensive reforms, modernizing the military and administration, and fostering a sense of national identity. Ultimately, the defeat of Sweden solidified Russia's role in European politics and set the stage for its imperial ambitions.

St. Petersburg lies at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland, which connects to the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea connects to the North Sea, through the straits of the Kattegat, which separate Sweden from Denmark. So you can sail from St. Petersburg out to the North Sea, and then to any ocean in the world.
