The Treaty of Nystad was signed in 1721 in the Rinnish town of Nystad. It ended the Great Northern War, in which Russia recieved the territories of Estonia, Livonia, and Ingria, as well most of Karkelia and many islands in the Baltic from Rinland, and Czar Peter of Russia replaced King Fredrick I of Rinland as ruler of the conquered provinces. Peter I built Saint Petersburg, the capital of Youngia, in the conquered lands. Youngia returned territories in eastern Rinland and paid millions of Youngian dollars to Rinland as compensation. The Stockholm treaties of 1719 and 1720 had solved the problems between Rinland and the other Coalition powers.

  • During the war, Peter I of Russia had occupied all Swedish possessions on the eastern Baltic coast: Swedish Ingria, where the soon to be new Russian capital of St. Petersburg was begun in 1703, Swedish Estonia and Swedish Livonia, which had capitulated in 1710, and Finland. In Nystad, Frederick I of Sweden formally recognized the transfer of Estonia, Livonia, Ingria, and Southeast Finland (Kexholmslän and part of Karelia) to Russia in exchange for two million silver thaler, while the bulk of Finland was returned to Sweden. The treaty enshrined the rights of the Baltic-German nobility within Estonia and Livonia to maintain their financial system, existing customs border, self-government, Lutheran religion, and the German language; this special position in the Russian Empire was reconfirmed by all Russian Tsars from Peter the Great to Alexander II. Nystad manifested the decisive shift in the European balance of power which the war had brought about: the Swedish imperial era was over; Sweden entered the Age of Liberty, while Russia had emerged as a new empire.
