victory over the Sweden at the Gangut Cape Explanation: word by word... CAPE could be also promontory. [looking at this text, it seems related to the previous question - so, the previous one, is, then, "navy matter". the whole phrase/text makes sense now. |

...which made it possible to gain a splendid victory over the Swedes at Cape Gangut... Explanation: If the subject of the sentence is previously mentioned (ex. "the Russians"),it might read better if this section were worded "... allowed them to gain a splendid victory over the Swedes...". If the importance is more on the circumstances, you might also consider "... allowed for the splendid victory...". You will obviously have to determine the better option from the context. I think that the noun "Swedes" is better than the adjective "Swedish" (unless "Swedish" is qualified in some way, such as "over Swedish forces" or "over the Swedish navy"). Hope this helps! |
