Immediate Differences
This is for differences that would happen as a direct effect of the POD.

First POD

 * Lithuania was invaded by Russia in 1660 and fell by 1663.
 * Poland was invaded by Russia as part of the same war in 1664 and it fell in 1667.
 * Sweden was also invaded with the goal of capturing Finland in 1668, and thusly the Baltic War ended with Russian supremacy established over the Baltic.

In Europe

 * In Europe, Napoleon would first lead the French Revolution, overthrowing the French Bourbons. Then he masterfully conducted the Spanish Revolution, ending Bourbon rule in Europe. After he proclaimed himself Emperor of France with the 15 July Revolution, he was faced with war with Britain, Prussia, and Austria. Bringing together his allies and the enemies of his enemies, France, Spain, Russia, the Mughal Empire, America, and Denmark crushed the opposition, start Bonaparte rule in Europe, more specifically, France, Spain, Italy, and Ireland. It also meant the dissolution of the British Empire, with its colonies being split amongst the victors and the home isle split into England, Wales, and Scotland, while the remains of the British Royal Family (Crown Prince George, his mother, and his brothers and sisters) fled to Austria while King George was imprisoned in Paris, trialed, and escaped execution by one vote and was sentenced to life in the Azores.
 * The Russian Empire survives to this day, and Alexei, Peter the Great's son, became the Tsar. No female ever held the throne. Poland is also part of the Empire, expanding upon OTL's Empire. Congo, Novorossiya, and Novosibir are also part of the Russian Union, made up of the Russian states and former colonies.
