    The importance of the naval and military reforms that Peter the Great undertook in his reign was of great importance to Russia and to Peter personally. During this time there was a military revolution going on in early modern Europe, which involved innovations in technology, tactics, army and navy size, and bureaucratization. The prospect of war in the north against the Swedish and its Polish allies, and in the south against the Ottomans persuaded Peter that he had to reform his armies in accordance to contemporary European standards in order to survive. Russia's armed forces as they stood in the late seventeenth century bore comparison with those of the armies of feudal Europe. Russia’s defeat at Narva in 1700 hundred showed Peter that military modernization needed to be fully implemented in Russia. The reform entailed the establishment of more efficient systems of central command and control, and of taxation, recruitment, training, and supplies. Peter would abandon the traditional levy that they relied on for centuries. He would then recruited and drilled, dozens of new infantry and cavalry, establish new regiments of artillery and engineering units.

Peter also built many academies for learning on military operations for both the army and the navy in which many foreigners were recruited to teach Russians. Many foreigners were hired into the army and navy while Russians were being…
