Hey we're back.
I've decided to celebrate the return of site by making an edit of Peter The Great.
Peter originally governed Russia with his brother Ivan V, ruling jointly as Co-monarchs. However Ivan would die from a mix of metal and physical problems in 1696.
Peter would then rule as the only Tsar until 1721, when he crowned himself Emperor, or Imperator.
He's also credited as the founder of the Russian Navy, and his modernization of the military.
In 1703, Peter founded St. Petersburg, a city famously dubbed by Francesco Algarotti as "The Window to The West" and made it the new capital. Which would remain so for two centuries.
