High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Treaty of Thorn was concluded on 9 October 1709 between Augustus the Strong and Peter the Great in Thorn (Toru ), during the Great Northern War. The parties revived their alliance, which Charles XII of Sweden had destroyed in the Treaty of Altranstadt (1706), and agreed on restoring the Polish crown to Augustus.With the decisive Swedish defeat in the Battle of Poltava, Russian tsar Peter the Great had gained the upper hand in the Great Northern War. With the main Swedish army destroyed and Swedish king Charles XII exiled to the Ottoman Empire, Augustus the Strong, whom Charles XII had dethroned as Polish king in the Treaty of Altranstadt (1706), was able to march into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and re-claim the Polish crown from the Swedish ally Stanis aw Leszczy ski. The territory re-conquered by Augustus in 1709 included the Royal Prussian city of Thorn (Toru ), where he met with Peter the Great to hash out the terms for a common policy regarding northeastern Europe.
