 Battle of Narva (1700) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Narva was an early battle in the Great Northern War in which a Swedish army under King Charles XII of Sweden defeated the Russian army of Tsar Peter the Great at Narva.
On the other hand, this great victory was wasted by Charles, who instead of pursuing the Russians decided - against the advice of his generals, diplomats of Swedish parliament - to turn against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, even though it had been suing for peace.
Over the next several years Charles would dethrone the Polish king, Augustus II of Poland, but given that breathing space, Russian Tsar Peter the Great managed to create an army that defeated the Swedes at the battle of Poltava, forever ending the dominance of the Swedish Empire, and marking the rise of the Russian Empire.
