in 1718 it was obvious that the Great Northern War
was coming to a close. His successor Frederick I
began negotiating the Treaty of Stockholm, which refers to the two treaties signed in 1719 and 1720 that ended the war between Sweden

with Denmark-Norway in 1720 and the Treaty of Nystad
with Russia in 1721.
