Peter the Great: Tsar of Russia

http://www.tomrichey.net

Peter the Great transformed Russia from an Eastern-oriented landlocked nation into a modern, Western-oriented empire. After touring Europe for several months, Peter returned in Russia to reform the military, the civil service, and the Church. His conquests gave Russia access to warm water ports.
