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.

On that day, after giving command of the main force to Boris Sheremetev, he moved toward Nöteborg. After the Swedish commander, Wilhelm von Schlippenbach, refused to give up the fort immediately, the Russians began bombarding it. A final Russian assault on the fort was tactically unsuccessful, resulting in heavy casualties, but forced the fort's defenders to surrender on 22 October 1702.

Many of the Russian and Cossack regiments participating in the battle were wiped out and ceased to exist as fighting units.
