CZAR CZAR: (version of Caesar)
Emperor
Ivan IV Early Reforms:

promoted military officers on merit
reduced Boyars power Expanded borders and
increased trade

1560s: Ivan changes Became suspicious of his closest
advisors Created a private police force to
punish opposition 1565: seized land from 12,000
boyars Killed thousands in Novgorod,
suspected they wanted to separate from Russia
1581: killed his own son
Russia “TIME OF TROUBLES”
many rulers because of lack of heir
1613: Michael crowned czar– first Romanov
RUSSIA Peter I
1682: became czar as child, sister ruled until he was 17
Labored side-by-side with thousands of carpenters building a navy Takes Azov from Turks with
navy

Modernize WESTERNIZATION:

Sweden for a warm-water port ST. PETERSBURG Becomes new capital
RUSSIA 1761: Peter III becomes Czar
His wife, Catherine grew angry at his weak rule
Peter III murdered Catherine II becomes
“Czarina” Catherine the Great’s
Reforms: Removed restrictions on trade Updated Russia’s legal and
education system Promoted Science and Arts
Catherine the Great War and revolt led
Catherine to strengthen the authority of the monarchy Reorganized local
