Peter The Great
Journey into making Russia Powerful
Young Curious Leader
Peter the Great was given the throne at the age of 10. He was very curious and his curiosity would later benefit him greatly. Before Peter the Great Russia was very isolated and didn't really know much about the other side of the world. When Peter Alexeyevich was 17 he would gain control over the government. During his prime time Peter would go on a adventure to Europe learning the tools and tactics that were used by them and that were also more effective then present day Russia.
