1700 – 1721
La Gran Guerra del Norte (1700-1721), fue una coalición liderada por Rusia que logró desafiar la supremacía de Suecia en el norte, centro y este de Europa. Los líderes iniciales de la alianza antisueca fueron Pedro I de Rusia, Federico IV de Dinamarca-Noruega y Augusto II el Fuerte de Sajonia-Polonia-Lituania. Federico IV y Augusto II fueron derrotados por Suecia, bajo el mando de Carlos XII, y expulsados de la alianza en 1700 y 1706, respectivamente, pero se reincorporaron en 1709 tras la derrota de Carlos XII en la batalla de Poltava. Jorge I de Gran Bretaña y el Electorado de Hannover se unieron a la coalición en 1714 por Hannover y en 1717 por Gran Bretaña, y Federico Guillermo I de Brandeburgo-Prusia se unió en 1715.
