Description |
A map of Russian expansion from 1533 to 1896. Ivan IV conquered the Tatar states of Kazan (1533-84) and Astrakhan (1556), gaining control of the Volga River down to the Caspian Sea. In addition, from the 1580s, the fur trade lured the Russians deep into Siberia across the Urals. Peter the Great concentrated on achieving a window on the West, wresting the Baltic region from Sweden in 1721. Catherine the Great annexed the Tatar khanate of Crimea and acquired parts of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Russian forces subdued the Kazaks (1816-54), completed Russian control of the Caucasus (1857-64) and annexed the khanates of Central Asia (1865-76). China ceded to the tsar the Amur basin and parts of the Pacific Coast (where Vladivostok was founded in 1860), and leased Port Arthur (1898). |
