The statement that best describes the similarities in reforms between Catherine the Great and Peter the Great is "Both embraced Western ideas and worked to bring Russia fully into European cultural and political life."

We are talking about the first Emperor of the Akkadians, Sargon the Great. He was the "terror" of many Sumerian city-states. He was feared and respected for all the above-mentioned accomplishments. Babylonian and Assyrian recorded history wrote about Sargon that he was a great ruler that led his warrior troops to conquer many regions of Mesopotamia. This literature renown him as a man that overcome poverty in his childhood and became a great Emperor.
