This revered Tsar established Russia as a European power

He created the modern Russian navy and oversaw advances in education, culture, and science, establishing the country's first university, in St. Petersburg, in 1724. He fought against the Ottoman Empire in 1695-1696 and defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War of 1700-1721, gaining access to the Baltic Sea.
