How did peter the great abuse his power?

History
1 answer:
Veronika [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Many monarchs throughout history have killed family members. England’s Henry VIII, for example, beheaded two wives and several cousins. Cleopatra engineered the murder of two siblings (one of whom was also her husband). And Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, ordered the execution of his half-brother from a Spanish prison. But even those royals might have been aghast at the actions of Russian czar Peter the Great, who in 1718 had his eldest son tortured to death for allegedly conspiring against him.

Peter I, better known as Peter the Great, is generally credited with bringing Russia into the modern age. During his time as czar, from 1682 until his death in 1725, he implemented a variety of reforms that included revamping the Russian calendar and alphabet and reducing the Orthodox Church’s autonomy. Peter even instituted a tax on beards as part of his efforts to make Russians look and act more like Western Europeans.

He then became "First Consul" of France for ten years before ruling as an emperor. Napoleon Bonaparte established the Napoleonic Code, where there was freedom of religion, and demanded that people should not receive jobs based on their social status, but on their merit.

Stolb23 [73]

The Scientific Revolution was one of the factors that caused the Enlightenment. However, it depends on which entities of the Enlightenment you are focusing on.

When we think of the Enlightenment, we tend to think of philosophers first. This is because the Enlightenment was not a purely scientific movement, but more of a wide-ranged intellectual time. Ideas from thinkers like Galileo, Copernicus, Isaac Newton, etc, were produced in the Scientific Revolution, and merely built off of in the Enlightenment.

You see, thinkers during the Enlightenment wanted to question the many beliefs that were set during the Dark Ages, which also meant going up against large, powerful opposition, like the Catholic Church. The ideas that came out of the Scientific Revolution gave Enlightenment thinkers the facts they would use when creating their theories. Armed with these facts, they could debunk the ridiculous theories that others had set in the past.

So finally, to answer your question, it is probable that the Enlightenment would have started nevertheless, but it is unlikely that the ideas of its thinkers would have made such an impact without the Scientific Revolution.

Hope it helps!
