In this war, the Drabant Corps used a smoke screen as they began an attack by crossing the Düna River. The Georgian prince Alexander of Imereti was captured in a battle during this war, which was the subject of a painting by August von (10[1])Kotzebue’s son that (10[1])depicts soldiers retreating from a snow-covered (10[1])battlefield across a river. One side in this war (-5[1])steadily (-5[1])marched to within (10[1])close (10[2])range before releasing a (-5[1])deadly (-5[1])volley using (10[1])its Ga-Pa tactics. (10[1])During this (-5[2])war, (-5[1])the treaty (-5[1])of (10[3])Altranstädt forced Augustus the (10[4]-5[1])Strong (10[1])to (10[2])renounce the (10[3])Polish (10[4]-5[1])throne. In (-5[1])the (10[1]-5[1])Moldavian town of (10[1])Bender, an (10[1])Ottoman (-5[2])operation during this war ended with the (10[1])capture of Charles (10[4]-5[1])XII (“the twelfth”). For (10[1])10 (10[2]-5[1])points, what (10[1])war’s (10[1])decisive Battle of (10[2])Poltava (10[2])marked the (10[1]-5[1])ascendancy of Russia over (10[1])Sweden in the Baltic (10[1])region?
