How did Peter the Great and Catherine the Great strengthen Russia and expand its territory? Russia was still a medieval state in the 1600s, after having suffered a period of disorder and invasions. In the late 1600s, Peter the Great came to power and worked to modernize the nation. Catherine the Great continued his efforts.

He traveled to European cities in 1697. Peter the Great took control of Russian government and set out to modernize it. There, he learned about new technologies and was impressed by Parliament in England. He traveled to European cities in 1697. Peter brought back people from Europe to help his policy of westernization. To force the change, he was very autocratic, ruling with unlimited authority. 5

Peter worked to control the Church and the nobles in Russia. He brought the Russian Orthodox Church under his control. He made the boyars serve the state. He made them shave their beards and switch to a Western style of dress. In exchange, he strengthened serfdom.

If anyone revolted, he had them killed. He adopted mercantilist policies to pay for his reforms. Peter was not afraid to use force to reach his goal. He imported technology, improved schools, improved canals, and developed new industries. Peter’s reforms were both social and economic.

Peter was not able to push through the Ottoman Empire to get his warm-water port, but Catherine the Great would eventually achieve this goal. Peter also sought to expand Russia’s borders so that it could have a warm-water port. To this end, he built the largest army in Europe as well as a world-class navy.

Peter started a war against Sweden in 1700. He defeated them in 1709 and gained territory along the Baltic Sea. There, he built a new capital city, St. Petersburg, to rival any in Europe. It became a symbol of Peter’s goal of modernizing Russia.

During this time, Russia also expanded eastward. Peter signed a treaty with China that recognized Russia’s claim to lands north of China. He hired Vitus Bering to explore the strait between Siberia and Alaska. These expansions made Russia the world’s largest country.

Peter the Great left a mixed legacy. Positives Negatives Ended Russia’s isolation Reforms died with him Expanded Russia’s territory and gained ports on the Baltic Sea Used terror to enforce his will Built a big army Policies led to the growth of serfdom

Russia expanded its territory between 1689 and 1796.

Russian nobles became more and more independent. Then a new monarch took power. She was to be known as Catherine the Great. Peter died without an heir and a power struggle ensued.

Catherine was born as a German princess. She lived in the Russian court for twenty years with her husband, who was heir apparent and insane. During this time, she learned Russian, studied, and built alliances. She used these alliances to assume power in 1762.

Catherine was a very effective ruler and absolute monarch. She embraced Western ideas. She reorganized government in the provinces and codified laws. She opened state-sponsored schools for children.

She could also be ruthless. Catherine repressed the rebellion and exempted the boyars from paying taxes. Peasants revolted against the harsh conditions of serfdom. Along with King Frederick II and Emperor Joseph II of Austria, Catherine partitioned Poland and took control of its eastern lands in 1772, removing the state from the map.
