Peter the Great

Peter I or Peter the Great was one of the most outstanding rulers and reformers in Russian history. He was Tsar of Russia and became Emperor in 1721. First he ruled together with his brother, Ivan, and his sister, Sofya. In 1696 he became a sole ruler.

He was a healthy, lively and clever child. He loved military games and enjoyed carpentry, blacksmithing and printing. At the age of 17 he was married.

Peter I is famous for drawing Russia further to the East. He also transferred the capital from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Peter traveled much in Western Europe and tried to carry western customs and habits to Russia. He introduced western technology. He completely changed the Russian government and military system: he increased the power of the monarch and reduced the power of the boyars and the church.

In foreign policy, Peter I waged a war with Turkey (1695 – 1696) and Great Nothern War with Sweden (1700 – 1721) and a war with Persia (1722 – 1723). In these wars, he wanted to get access to the Baltic, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. He managed to get the shores of the Baltic Sea and the Caspian Sea.
