Catherine the Great

Catherine the Great was born in Stettin, Prussia (now Szczecin in Poland), on 2nd May 1729. Her father was Prince Christian August of the Anhelt family. He was a Prussian army officer and was governor of Stettin.

In the 18th century wealthy children had their own private teachers, and so Catherine received a lot of her education from her French nanny Babette. She learnt French, German, History, Religion and Music.

When Catherine was fifteen, she went to Russia where she met and married the Grand Duke Peter in 1745. In December 1761 Peter III became Emperor of Russia and Catherine his empress. Only a few months later she became the sole ruler of Russia.

During her reign, Russia became one of the great powers of Europe. Catherine developed the arts and sciences in her country. Under her direction, St Petersburg became one of the world's greatest capitals. It was a fantastic period for theatre and music. Catherine II also improved the country's education system.

Catherine died of a stroke on 17th November, 1796. During her reign she made Russia a great nation.
