Queen Catherine has been in power for 34 years, constantly waging wars of foreign aggression, expanding Russia's land area by 670,000 square kilometers, opening the sea to the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, defeating Russia's old enemies Ottoman Turkey and Sweden, and dividing Poland with Prussia and Austria.
Moreover, during the reign of Queen Catherine, there were several diplomatic disputes between Russia and its powerful eastern neighbor, the Qing Dynasty, which almost led to war. However, after the Qing Dynasty pacified Junggar, the national strength grew stronger and the border defense was consolidated, and the heart of preventing Russia never slackened. However, due to the cruel serfdom in China, Russian Queen yekaterina led to peasant uprisings in China.
The war against Europe and the Ottoman Turkish Empire was launched abroad, and the treasury was empty and the soldiers were insufficient, making it impossible to confront the Qing Dynasty in the East. At that time, Russia did not have the strength to fight against the Ottoman Empire and the Qing Dynasty on both fronts. These reasons led Queen yekaterina to finally give up her anti-Qing war plan.
Character introduction:
Catherine II advocated "enlightened autocracy", introduced capitalist industry and commerce, reformed the judicial and administrative systems, and strengthened centralization. After the Puao War in Western Europe, Russia took the opportunity to intervene in Western Europe and expand its influence in Western Europe. Diplomatic skill is quite fierce, and he carved up half of Poland by attacking far away from Tomochika. The defeat of Sweden ensured the position of the Russian navy in the Baltic Sea.
The defeat of Ottoman Turkey in the first and second Russian-Turkish wars gave Russia access to the Black Sea, which was also Russia's antenna to the Balkans. Russia's territory has expanded by 800,000 square kilometers in her hands, and Russia's fiscal revenue has more than quadrupled. Russia became the largest country in Europe at that time and deserved to be the European gendarmerie.
