1699 treaty
Treaty of Preobrazhenskoye
The Treaty of Preobrazhenskoye (or the Treaty of Preobrazhenskoe ) was negotiated by Johann Patkul and signed on 22 November 1699 in Preobrazhenskoye (now a part of Moscow ), a favoured residence of the tsar Peter the Great . It followed an informal meeting of Peter and Augustus at Rava (Rawa, Rava-Ruska, Rava-Ruskaya) in August 1698. The treaty called for the partition of the Swedish Empire among Denmark-Norway , Russia , Saxony and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth . Following the treaty, the Great Northern War began.
