Peter the Great the Russian Empire from 1682 until his death | 12th Grade
Cited as one of the greatest rulers in the 17th century

Peter the Great (died 1725) ruled Russia and later the Russian Empire from 1682 until his death. He carried out a policy of Westernization and expansion that transformed the Czardom of Russia into the 3-billion acre Russian Empire, a major European power. He is cited as one of the greatest rulers in the 17th century, ranking alongside Louis XIV of France.

In 1721, soon after peace was made with Sweden, Peter was acclaimed Emperor of All Russia. The State Chancellor was the first to add "the Great, Father of His Country, Emperor of All the Russias" to Peter's traditional title Czar.

Peter's imperial title was recognized by the kings of Poland, Prussia, and Sweden but not by the other European monarchs. In the minds of many, the word emperor connoted superiority or pre-eminence over "mere" kings. Several rulers feared that Peter would claim authority over them, just as the Holy Roman Emperor had once claimed suzerainty over all Christian nations.
