Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Library of Historic Characters and Famous Events of All Nations and All Ages, Vol. 12 At the opening of the eighteenth century Russia appeared to the rest of Europe to be emerging from barbarism under the direction of Peter the Great. A century later this mighty empire had become a predominating force in the world. The insatiable ambition of Napoleon compelled the Czar to enter the terrible international conflict. When Napoleon was finally overthrown, the mystical religious disposition of Alexander I. led to the Holy Alliance, which undertook to reconstruct Europe on a religious monarchical basis. Henceforth Russia was the chief conservative power. Alexander Paulevich, the son of the Czar Paul and Maria, daughter of Eugene, King of Wurtemberg, was born December 28, 1777. From his mother he inherited beauty and grace. He was carefully trained at the court of his grandmother, Catherine II. His father, Paul, whose crazy vagaries had become unbearable, was assassinated on March 11, 1801, and on the next morning Alexander was proclaimed Czar. His coronation at Moscow took place in the following September. The ruling ideas of Peter the Great had, before this period, been carried out; what Russia now most required was a moral reformer in its ruler. This Alexander endeavored to be. Mildness and forbearance were the characteristics of his government. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
