Peter the Great- Was he great?

Killing five men with one’s bare hands is quite a feat, but is it great? Well, if those five men were political enemies, and in killing them one brings a simple peace to an area, that may be considered great. But many leaders have been considered great by historians, including Frederick II and Catherine II, but none, except Peter the Great, have been considered great during their reign. During the time of his reign …

…that moniker. The “Great” he has been attached with is truly deserving since he did more for the advancement of his country then many of the other “Greats” did. He turned Russia into a world power and a force to be reckoned with military-wise. His personality and height caused him to be not only a great leader but also a great man. He truly could be considered one of the “Greats” of history. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
