People in later generations used to call Peter I "Peter the Great", and the title of "Peter the Great" even had a high evaluation of Peter I. During his reign, he carried out all-round reforms in backward Russia, including politics, military affairs, culture, education and diplomacy. Actively develop national industry and commerce and formulate westernization policies. After the governance of Peter I, Russia completely got rid of backwardness and became the number one military power in Europe at that time. Therefore, future generations all think that Peter I is the greatest emperor in Russian history.
When evaluating Peter I, many people like to compare him with emperors such as Elizabeth I and Louis XIV. However, their contribution and influence to the country are not as great as Peter I's, and their long-term development is not as far-reaching. Of course, some people think that pioneering and revolutionary emperors such as Meiji in Japan and William I in Germany are similar to Peter I, but when we understand their specific situation, we will find that Peter I's personal role is more prominent.
In a word, people think highly of Peter I, on the one hand, they fully praise and affirm his contribution to Russia, on the other hand, they often compare him with many great emperors. It can be said that the evaluation that Peter I is the greatest emperor in Russian history is completely correct.
