The Great Northern War ends on August 30, 1721, with the signing of the Peace of Uusikaupunki (Swedish, Nystad), by which Sweden cedes most of its territories on the southern and the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea.
Sweden is also forced to pay a large indemnity to Russia, and, in return, the Russians evacuate Finland, retaining only some territory along Finland's southeastern border.
This area includes the fortress city of Viipuri.
As a result of the war, Sweden's power is much reduced, and Russia replaces Sweden as the main power in the Baltic.
