What mistakes did peter the great make?

Answer 1

One of her failures was allowing the boyars to increase their stranglehold on Russian peasants. She took firm action to repress the peasants when they revolted against the harsh conditions of serfdom. As a result, conditions grew worse for the peasants, and even more were forced into serfdom. The fact that she kept serfdom alive while it was dying out in other places put Russia at a disadvantage in world affairs.

Answer 2

1) By the time of Peter's death, the Russian army had over 200,000 men and to pay for such a big army, Peter made Russia pay heavy taxes

2) When he died he had no heir to the throne and created harsh times when he passed

Answer 3

He really wasnt. HE was harsh to his son and had a paranoia of being overthrown but he did so much for Russia.

Preemptively struck Saxony in 1756 bringing on the Seven Years War.

Answer 5

Apart from using paintings by old masters for target practice during his visit to England, not that many. He was ruthless in his efforts to drag Russia kicking and screaming out of the Middle Ages and introduce Western ways to its nobles, but if there was collateral damage in the process he would have used the quote about the omelets and the breaking of eggs. He had his eldest son tortured to death which could be called a mistake in the sense that when Peter himself died, he had no other son to succeed him. But he earned the sobriquet "the Great" by expanding Russian territory, beating the Swedes among others, building St Petersburg which was to become famous for its beauty and modernizing Russia. He himself died without regretting anything he could have considered a mistake in hindsight.
