To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He said, " I will treat with the Czar at Moscow." Peter replied, " My brother Charles wishes to play the part of Alexander, but he will not find me Darius." The Battle of Pultawa (1709) soon decided Peter's superiority, and the Peace of Nystadt (172 1) added the Baltic provices and a number of islands in the Baltic to Russia. In 1703 "a great window for Russia to look out at Europe" — so Count Algaratti called St. Petersburg — was made by Peter on the marshes of the Neva. This step firmly estab...lished Russian power on the Baltic. ' But to establish Russian power on the Baltic at all was as great a. mistake as ever has been committed by so shrewd a states- man as Peter the Great. The predominance of Russia in the Baltic with her strong navy threatened the interest of the commerce and carrying-trade of. the English and Dutch. Hence it was natural enough that England and Holland, two great maritime powers, I02 JAPAN AND THE PACIFIC. should have joined to protect their interest in the Baltic as well as the integrity of Sweden against Russian aggression.
