Chronological/Timeline:Catherine The Great
Власть без доверия народа - ничто.
Vlast' bez doveriya naroda - nichto.
Power without a nation’s confidence is nothing.
I was born in Stettin, Prussia (now Poland) May 2, 1729. My birth name was Sophia Augusta Fredericka of Anhalt-Zerbst. I had a brother that died at 12, and my father died when I was very young, after which my mother used me to improve her social standing.
My mother took me to St. Petersburg where I met Peter; we were engaged in June 1744. We were wed on the 21st of August, 1745. We had barely anything in common with one another and we were both extremely unhappy in our marriage. My marriage to Peter the III lasted only eight years. A coup orchestrated by yours truly completely overthrew

I gained the immediate love of the Russian people and continued on as Tsarina of Russia. After 10 years of ruling the largest country on the planet, my first dispute occurred. In 1772, the first partition of Poland was formed; I took the Eastern partition to expand the Russian borders, while giving the other two partitions to Austria and what was Prussia. This part of Poland was just the beginning of Russia’s expansion westward.
The “Nakaz,” a document declaring equality for all, was written in August of 1767. In the document, I stated the the law shouldn’t oppress the community, but protect it. Disapproving of capital punishment, the Nakaz was remembered mostly for its ideas, not for its immediate impact.
In 1774, the treaty of Kucuk Kaynarca was signed after numerous victories against the Ottoman Empire. The treaty expanded Russia out towards the Buh River, giving us a foothold in the Black Sea. This gave us the right to maintain a fleet on the Black Sea. The newly formed independent Crimean Peninsula was soon annexed by yours truly. This soon broke out in a war between the Ottoman Empire and Russia, with Austria again as our ally. We won several battles that gave Russia control over the lower Dniester and Danube Rivers. With numerous victories over the Ottoman Empire, the ending treaty gave us a needed chunk of Black Sea coast. The war was concluded with the Ottoman Empire ceding the entire Western Ukrainian Black Sea coast to us. This was decided through the treaty of Jassy (Pronounced Lasi) in

Catherine the great and Louis the XIV they both had lots of power in their lifetimes.
Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most influential women in the history of Europe, having been a queen to rulers of both France and England, along with having significant political and economic power in her own right. She served as an example to all women, during a period where there was increasing development in the female s role in society. Eleanor was a patron of the arts, and she was also a powerful personality, influencing the politics of the day with the help of her sons, and maintaining a certain degree of control over the monarchy even after her marriage to Henry had ended.
I was Born December 21st, 1925 in Cincinnati Ohio. My parents are Nick and Johanna Kamenshek. I was an only child my whole life but I had large dreams. I dreamed of becoming a nurse and I wanted to help everyone, small problem with that. My only way of becoming a nurse was by enlisting but my mother was worried and wouldn't let me
Catherine the Great is a absolute monarchy the reason why Catherine the Great is a absolute monarchy is because she intended on modernizing her country. She had ruled as the Empress of Russia more than thirty years after Peter III (husband) had been murdered but however Peter the Great had been using force. But Catherine decided to establish reforms that would improve the Russians society that wouldn't require her to use force on her people. She had improved education for the middle class and nobles but she had also modern agriculture. But while under her leadership the Russians had gained military success and territory. Russian was brought to the modern age but not only that it was also retaining an absolute monarchy by the time she had died in 1796.
Russia emerged as a significant power during the 1500s through war. It fought its neighbors and expanded its territory aimlessly. Ivan the Terrible’s expansion brought him into contact with both Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Aiming to gain a port and outlet to the Baltic,
Philip II of Spain (1527-1598) and Peter the Great of Russia (1672-1725) are both historic leaders that had a tremendous influence over the fate of each of their nations. Although from two different time periods, the impact of their decision making, and temperaments directly dictated and impacted the historical events of their individual countries. Being that both led during a time where the desire for power and absolutism in one’s country and throughout Europe was at a high, each ruler used his own methods to increase their strength. Due to the exorbitant amount of power put upon all leaders, it is clear that a nation’s fate is determined by its ruler, and how that ruler chooses to utilize
Catherine the Great’s response to the peasant rebellion of 1773 was using her army to fight the peasants and eliminate what freedom they had left. Before this rebellion she was in favor of the end of serfdom but this rebellion changed her mind. She thought these actions were necessary because she wanted to keep the throne and prevent another rebellion from happening. Though Catherine the Great ruled with absolute authority she also wanted to reform and improve Russia using some Enlightenment ideas.
I was born in Portland, Victoria on April 13th 1869 and I was the oldest child in my family. My sisters and I were educated by a private governess and I went to the Presbyterian Ladies’ College. My 2 sisters, Lina and Elsie got married, but Aileen didn’t get married.
35. As part of her territorial aspirations, Catherine the Great painlessly annexed what newly independent state in 1783? Crimea
I was born on December 6, 1806 in Drummond town, Virginia. My father, John Wise died in 1812 and a year later, my mother, Sara Wise died leaving me an orphan. After my parents death’s my two aunts and my grandfather raised me. In 1822 I attended Washington university in southwestern Pennsylvania studying law and in 1825 I finished college. A few years later I moved to Nashville, Tennessee there I married Ann Eliza Jennings and we had four kids and in 1837 my wife Ann Eliza Jennings died.
Peter the Great’s reforms had a profound impact on Russia, it introduced an era of change that he became known for. From Peter’s childhood he became known for his infatuation with ideas about the military and navy, enjoying pastimes like shipbuilding and sailing, as well as mock battles with toy armies. This strong influence left a lasting impression throughout Peter’s life, exemplified through his reforms and relations with Europe. This impacted Russia as Peter’s keen interest in Europe was a key inspiration for his reforms as his desire for knowledge and advancement was reflected in his personality and his rule. Peter’s interest in Europe also impacted Russia as it corresponded with a growing westernisation of typical Russian values and
Peter the Great the Tsar of Russia was the most influential absolute monarch for his time for changing Russia to a modernized country. At the beginning of Peter’s reign Russia was a poor country which had never experienced the renaissance. Russia also had no access to the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, or the Baltic Sea, which Peter made his main goal of his foreign policy. In 1596 Russia captured the Azov sea from the Turks after their first campaign failed. Then in 1697 Peter went to the Grand Embassy in western Europe to learn the conditions of the advanced countries, which helped Peter westernize Russia. These two events also help Peter build the Russian Navy. After the Northern War Peter sent nobles on Exploratory missions to the Central
Nevertheless, despite the fact that I do not oppose to this assumption, I suggest that my analysis on the changing nature of the Russian monarchs starts with a discussion of the rule of Ivan III, whose image embodies some degree of ambivalence, before analyzing the two most illustrious examples of “reforming” monarchs in the Russian history, namely Peter the Great and Ekaterina the Great and elaborate on the reasons what impeded their successors from continuing the policy orientation of their predecessors, and became even more inert. Therefore, the subsequent section of the paper will first explore a couple of examples among the predecessors of Peter the Great, who in my view, albeit not being explicitly labeled as “reforming tsars”, undoubtedly have demonstrated some of the vital for a progressive ruler characteristics, then it will examine the two most notable examples of visionary sovereigns in the Russian history, before concluding and briefly elaborating on the present state of
Peter the Great ruled over Russia from 1682 to 1725. Known as a key force in the reformation of the Russian economy, and the country as a whole, Peter wished to bring his country into a new era. Up until his reign, Russia had been trapped in a medieval like state, cut off from its European neighbors; the Renaissance that revolutionized the rest of Europe had very little to no effect on the Russian government or its citizens. Peter realized that Russia could never be the world power that he wished it to be until they were on the same level as the rest of Europe. Seeing the dilemma, Peter left Russia for a period of time to travel Europe, work among the people of different nations, and study the cultures and governments of Russia’s neighbors.
