I want to know the answer to the following question:
In what year was Russia declared an empire?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Ruling from 1682 to 1725, Peter defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War, forcing it to cede West Karelia and Ingria (two regions lost by Russia in the Time of Troubles), as well as Estland and Livland, securing Russia's access to the sea and sea trade.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
