Presentation transcript:

PETER THE GREAT Peter the Great was committed to a policy of westernization in Russia. However, persuading Russians to change their way of life proved difficult. To impose his will, Peter became the most autocratic of Europe’s absolute monarchs. During his reign he: forced the boyars, or landowning nobles, to serve the state. imported western technology and culture. insisted that the boyars shave their beards and wear western- style clothing. used autocratic methods to push through social and economic reforms. imposed policies which caused the spread of serfdom. brought all Russian institutions under his control.

Peter created the largest standing army in Europe and set out to extend Russian borders to the west and south. Peter unsuccessfully fought the Ottomans in an attempt to gain a warm-water port for Russia. Peter engaged in a long war with Sweden, and eventually won land along the Baltic Sea. On land won from Sweden, Peter built a magnificent new capital city, St. Petersburg. Peter signed a treaty with Qing China which recognized Russia’s right to lands north of Manchuria. Peter hired a navigator to explore what became known as the Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska.
