1698 CE
The Grand Embassy had failed to accomplish its main goal, but it has gathered valuable information about the international situation, ascertained the impossibility of strengthening the anti-Turkish coalition due to the imminent War of the Spanish Succession, and has brought back the plans for gaining access to the Baltic Sea.
On his way back to Russia, Peter the Great had met with Augustus II of Poland and conducted negotiations with him, which will form the basis for the Russo-Polish alliance against Sweden in the Great Northern War.
