As I'm sure many of those knowledgeable about Russian History knows, Peter the Great was (arguably) one of Russia's most important leaders, ranging from his massive modernizations to the establishment of Russia as not only a major player in European politics, but an Imperial Power as well.

However, Russia in his early reign was ruled by a Co-Czar, Ivan V, and the crown regent Sophia. Sophia had exiled Peter early in his life in a temporary coup, before he came back with a stronger military force. But what would happen if that military force was defeated/she killed him instead/whatever?

How does this affect Colonial, European, and modern history as a whole?
