Answer 1

- Sent explorers across the Bering Sea to North America.
- Fought against Sweden to gain access to the Baltic Sea.

Reason: Peter promoted eastern exploration (sponsoring voyages like those of Vitus Bering) and fought the Great Northern War against Sweden to secure Baltic ports (e.g., founding St. Petersburg).
