The study of Peter the Great's reign has occupied a great and often
tumultuous place in the fields of Russian and European History.
Countless biographies and monographs have been written on the
Petrine period, yet much of this work by Western historians has
neglected the Russian military campaigns against Sweden during the
final years of the Great Northern War (1700-1721). The Russian
Military campaigns along Sweden's coast during the years 1719-1721
and their consequences have far too often been relegated to a few
brief sentences or explanatory footnotes. Therefore, this study
examines the vital impact that the Russian military campaigns of
1719-1721 had in ending the Great Northern War, and Peter the
Great's crucial involvement in directing them. The diplomatic and
financial role of Great Britain in assisting Sweden in exchange for
the territories ceded to George I's Electorate of Hanover, also
forms an essential part of this study. The purpose of this work is
to provide a more subjective account of these critical campaigns
and their consequences, based on both Russian and Western sources.
