The Russian siege of Narva in Swedish controlled Estonia came four years after the first battle of Narva, where the Russians were defeated by a much smaller Swedish force defending the city. Tsar Peter I marched to the area again with a reorganized army in an attempt to capture Narva. After a long siege followed by a three-fronted attack, the Russians captured Narva on 20 August 1704, massacring hundreds of its Swedish garrison and inhabitants before Peter I stopped them.
In August, Peter I signed the Treaty of Narva in the town, aligning the Sandomierz Confederation faction of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with Russia against Sweden in the war.
On 11 September, the surviving citizens of Narva swore allegiance to Peter I in the courtyard of the town hall, and the city was incorporated into the Russian Tsardom.

Underwater glass cutting
Scissors make a micro-crack, the capillary effect completes the process by breaking off pieces of glass. The splitting occurs due to the wedging effect of capillary water.
