 | | Phoenix Alliance could have avoided this war if they had kept their word on the ejection of CDI for the crimes and misdemeanours committed and recognised by practically everyone; and aside from all the propaganda nonsense, this is pretty much apparent from all the evidence on record. | | | The full reasons for the war from the NCA perspective are listed Here and it is not the intention of this account to discuss the rights or wrongs of casus beli and political foundation. | | | Hence we have to believe that PA participated in this knowing that they were in the wrong but believing that victory would come quickly for them, and that in victory they could erase the public perception of their false dealing for historical record. |

| | Northern War |
| | Early in the war the Swedish king Charles XII defeated Peter (against 5 times numerically superior forces) at Narva on the Baltic coast. | | | Russia, at the beginning of Peter the Great's reign, was territorially a huge power, but with no access to the Black Sea, or to the Baltic Sea, and to win such an outlet became the main goal of Peter's foreign policy. | | | Peter formed a great alliance with Saxony / Poland (Poland was at that time joined in a Union with Saxony) and Denmark, which started the Northern War in 1700. |

| | Peace was concluded at Nystad in September 1721. | | | The war's main political consequence was the establishment of Russia as the leading military power in northern Europe, a position it was never to lose. | | | In 1709 Charles XII's attempted invasion of Russia came to grief at Poltava (July 8), after which his army was lost and he himself forced into exile (1709-1714) in the Ottoman Empire. |
