January 1719 CE

The anti-Swedish allies had become increasingly divided, by the time of Charles XII's death, on how to fill the power gap left behind by the defeated and retreating Swedish armies.

George I and Frederik IV both covet hegemony in northern Germany, while Augustus the Strong is concerned about Frederick William I's ambitions on the southeastern Baltic coast.

Peter the Great, whose forces are spread all around the Baltic Sea, envisions hegemony in East Central Europe and seeks to establish naval bases as far west as Mecklenburg.

George I, Augustus II and emperor Charles VI in January 1719 conclude a treaty in Vienna aimed at the reduction of Russia's frontiers to the prewar limits.
