Peter the Great Deals with a Rebellion
First of all I’m going to do a little introduction of who was Pete’s and why he goes that name of Peter the Great. Peter was the ruler of Russia for few years. I think that he ruled Russia in the way that no have done before. He thought that Russia needs an education. He was a smart person while he was ruling he was studying at the same time. He never stopped studying. Also one of he’s objectives were move Russia to the western. While the movement to the west he heard about a rebellion. This one was called as The Streltsky Rebellion. Well he got the name of Peter the Great cause he did a lot of good things but he did badly too. The good one is that he like in short words putted Russia into a good path to the future and when he came back from Indiana he come with a new ideas and he’s a soldier fought for him. The bad one is that he killed a lot of people torture them doing executions and those kind of stuff. He didn’t deal well with the Stretlsky. Because while he was going back to Russia he heard about that the Streltsky where doing things with out his authorization. This group (Streltsky) was a group created by Ivan the terrible of militaries. Peter was a very intelligent and resourceful czar. One of the approaches that he got for that title of czar it was that he expands Russia to the west. And with this increase Russia will be in to the western and it will get better in everything like economically, etc. That’s how he earns the title of czar. Then he died 1725 of ammonia.

    Religion was an important factor when dealing with Louis XIV and Peter the Great. Louis XIV held simple views regarding religion and it was that the king controlled the Catholic Church and that the Church should do his bidding. Louis got into conflict with some popes, but in the end he got his way, because he was more powerful. Louis believed that what was good for him was good for France. He saw no difference between the two. During Peter's reign the Russian Orthodox Church was reformed. The traditional leader of the Church was the Patriarch of Moscow. In 1700, when the office fell vacant, Peter had refused to name a replacement, allowing the Patriarch's deputy to discharge the duties of the office. In 1721, Peter followed the advice of Feofan Prokopovich and erected the Holy Synod, to take the place of the Patriarch and deputy. Peter also implemented a law which stated that no Russian man could join a monastery before the age of 50. He thought that too many able Russian men were being wasted away by clerical work when they could be joining his army. In 18th century Russia, few people lived to over a half century, therefore very few men became monks during Peter's reign. The monks were not pleased with this. In…

    When you think of Peter I or Peter the Great, as he gave himself that name, one thinks of Russia and the many Tsars that ruled this interesting part of the world. To learn of Peter the Great is to explore his life during 1682 . Peter was responsible for bringing Russia out of darkness and into a more civilized country in hopes that Russia, the Motherland, would gain the respect of the rest of the European theatre and become a great power. To do this required many changes and reforms which Peter the Great was responsible for. Although not completely successful in his reforms, Peter the Great had the attitude that he could never fail. Russia, considered by other countries as primitive, was at no point prepared to expand its territory or even be considered a threat by others with all the internal conflicts happening in the diverse land. Peter the Great was the answer to the lack of respect by the Western world, as he was raised differently than any other tsars or family that came before him. This upbringing will show the attitude and demeanor with which Peter the Great was able to meet the needs of the state. Previous to Peter the Great, the state had never…

    Cesar Peter the Great was an autocratic ruler whose actions turned Russia into a powerful force and left him labeled as an absolute king. In August 1700 Peter made the decision to declare war in Sweden. He hoped to open a road from Russia to the west by conquest of the Baltic littoral (Doc. 4). Peter the Great sought warm water ports on the Black Sea in order to expand and westernize Russia. He westernized Russia by imitating western customs like having the men’s beards shaved and ordering traditional coats cut. After winning access to the Baltic littoral Peter the Great ordered construction of St. Petersburg as the new capital. St. Petersburg was an important symbol of Peter the Great’s power because it showed how he expanded Russia’s borders which is one of the many reasons he was an absolute ruler.…
