The defeat of which king's supporter led to Stanisław's dethronement?

  • Frederick William

  • Peter the Great

  • Charles XII

  • Louis XIV

Answer

Charles XII's supporter, the Swedish king, was defeated at the Battle of Poltava in 1709, which weakened Stanisław's position and ultimately led to his dethronement. This defeat marked a turning point in the Great Northern War and diminished Sweden's influence in the region, paving the way for Russia's growing power and dominance in Eastern Europe.
