In addition to these, causes of war and oppression were laik Cossacks: the introduction of state monopoly on fishing, extraction of salt, vetch selling, collecting fees, etc.. The dissatisfaction of the Cossacks led to several uprisings 1771-1772 biennium, which were front war.

In foreign policy of the Russian Empire by Catherine II, distinguished two phases, separated French Revolution the XVIII century.

In the first stage foreign policy goals of Catherine II was the spread of influence in Europe, where the main rival at the time uvazhalasya France - the most powerful European state, as well as accession of new land by neighboring countries. King French Louis XV aim of their policy towards Russia has expressed thus: "All in able to drag this empire in chaos and force her to return to the darkness, meets my interests. " To this end, the French government led policy creation of "Eastern Barrier" - the support of Sweden, the Commonwealth, the Ottoman Empire. Weakest link of this barrier was the Commonwealth, which was tired internal contradictions and that became the object of attacks by Prussia, Austria and Russia. Therefore, the main directions of Russian foreign policy around which concentrated efforts of the imperial government were:

opposition attempts Sweden to reclaim lost ground;

in the fight conquest weakened by the Commonwealth, joining Russia Right Bank Ukraine and Belarus.

Implementation of these areas was to undermine France's plans to weaken and isolate the Russian empire.

Revolution in France 1789-1794 biennium made significant adjustments in Russian foreign policy. The revolution has not only destroyed the French absolutism, but also forced the other monarchs of Europe think about how to prevent the spread of its influence on their country. Change the situation in Europe has turned Russia into a stronghold of absolutism. Catherine II took an active part in the struggle against revolutionary France.

 

5. Russo-Turkish war of 1768-1774 and 1787-1791 biennium

The first Russo-Turkish Catherine II during the war decided to Turkey, which powerful strikes planned go to Kyiv, Smolensk, Astrakhan, pounce on Caucasus.

Spring 1768 Crimean Khan troops devastated parts of Ukraine. Under the blows of the Russian krymchane troops retreated, taking large prey. The following year, hostilities unrolled in the Black Sea steppes, the Balkans and Caucasus. Russian tisnyly troops throughout enemy. In 1769 Russian army led by outstanding general Pyotr Rumiantsev defeated the Turks under Khotin and won Khotin, Iasi, Bucharest, Taganrog. In 1770 Russian troops took three brilliant victories: two on-shore (near Largo and Cahul) and one at sea (in Chesmenskiy Bay).

In 1774 war advantageous for Russia ended Kyuchuk-Kaynardzhiyskym peace (signed in Bulgarian village Kyuchuk-Kaynardzhi). Russia went to the territory between the Bug and Dnipro including seaside fortress in Crimea - Kerch Yenikale and the land to the Kuban. Crimea and Kuban became independent from Turkey. Russia received the right to control the situation in the Danubian principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, who were at that time vassals of Turkey.

Suffered defeat, Turkey began to prepare for a new war against Russia. Since most northern Black Sea coast remained in the hands of Turkey, the government of Catherine II also did not consider the conflict closed. Both countries have been active diplomacy with allies searches. Russia has signed an alliance with Austria.

Military action again Turkey began, which were England and France. The Turkish fleet with Troopers went to one of the main points of the Russian Defense Black - Kinburn, who commanded the garrison Alexander Suvorov.

And in December 1790 Suvorov and managed his troops reached a new, unprecedented success, winning Turkish Ismail fortress at the mouth of the Danube.

Obtaining and Ishmael Victory at Sea (1791, in the Kerch Strait, the island Tendra, near Cape Kaliakriyi south of the Danube, near Varna) fate War.

In 1791 in Jassy was signed peace treaty between Russia and Turkey. Russia received land between the Dniester and Southern Bug. Turkey renounced its claims the Crimea and recognized his knowledge of Russian Empire. All Black coast from the mouth of the Dniester River to Crimea appeared within Russia.

Georgia and Russia Subordination Kazakhstan. Catherine II paid much attention south-eastern borders of their state. The weakening of the Ottoman Empire as a result Russian-Turkish wars enabled Russia to intensify its activities in Transcaucasia. South Caucasus nations of the sixteenth century. fought against Iran and Ottoman Empire. Russia helped the Georgians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis in this struggle to gain a foothold in the region. An important step was the signing July 24, 1783 George treaty between Russia and the king of the united East Georgia Irakliy II. Under this agreement, Georgia has recognized the power of Russia. Both sides in the event of an attack on one of them committed to provide assistance. Russia left for Georgia the right to independent foreign policy and guarantee their non-interference in its internal affairs.

In the eighteenth century. the process of accession of Kazakhstan to the Russian Empire. Kazakh Khanate was formed in late fifteenth century. It was divided into three zhuzy (Horde): Small (Junior), Medium and Large (Old). In the early eighteenth century. Kazakhs situation worse by invading oyrativ - western Mongols. It was the main reason that the Kazakhs of Russian nationality: Small and parts of the Middle zhuziv - 1731, the rest of the Middle zhuzu - in 1740-1741 biennium

Since joining tsarist government started the policy of restricting the power of local notables and distribution General-and-order institutions in Kazakhstan. This caused a wave popular indignation, which assumed the form of rebellion led Baturev Sryma (Sryma Datova).

Grand (Senior) zhuz the middle of the nineteenth century. was based on Kokandskoho and Hivynskoho Khanate and was annexed to the Russian Empire in the 60's Nineteenth century.

 

6. War against Sweden 1788-1790 he

King Gustav III of Sweden decided to take advantage of the fact that Russia fought against Turkey to regain previously lost ground. In 1788 Swedish army invaded Finland, but strong resistance to narazylasya Russian troops forced her to withdraw. The next year the Russian army and Navy attacked and captured a large part of Finland. In 1790 major events unfolded on the sea. Swedish Navy made two attacks on Russian fleet in the area of Revel (Tallinn) and Red Hill, but failed. After these defeats Gustav III offered peace, Russia agreed to.

Russian-Swedish Sweden showed the weakness of the war and its failure even under favorable conditions to fight against Russia.

 

7. Russia's participation in the division of Poland

In the second half XVIII Art. weakened Polish state through constant noble strife has been the object interference with its powerful neighbors - Austria, Prussia and Russia.

Question Polish land distribution has long been debated by European diplomats. However, resolving the issue not passed into. Accelerated distribution Poltsi victory of Russians in the war with Turkey and Prussia 1768-1774 biennium Austria did not want to further enhance Russia, but can not it prevented vytorhuvaty sought a possession in Poland, in exchange for nevrehulyuvannya in the Russo-Turkish conflict. Russia, which effectively controlled the Poland opposed the developments in this way. But the circumstances of (Was prolonged struggle with Bar confederation threatened Austria intervention and in 1770 began the conquest of Galicia, diplomatic pressure on Russia did France, Britain, Prussia and other States), forced Russia reconsider its position. It zhodylas division of Poland, together with Austria  and Prussia.

У 1772 , these states have made the first partition of Poland. Galicia went to Austria, East Belarus - To Russia, West Prussia - To the Prussian Kingdom.

Second division in Poland caused a wave of national indignation. Led the fight against the invaders hero of the Revolutionary War the British colonies in North America, Tadeusz Kosciuszko. During the war of independence he become famous for its courage, especially marked during the Battle of Saratoga. Home T. Kosciuszko came back in 1784 general.

He wrote odes, created a mosaic picture of "The Battle of Poltava (restoring recipes smalt). He founded a new direction in science - physical chemistry. Demonstrated that the surrounding world, a constant motion of matter composed of atoms that form molecule. Much attention is paid to studying electricity, proving that the spark and lightning have the same nature. Proved that Venus has an atmosphere. Explained nature of Northern sowing. The full range of inventions, scientific engineering solutions would take more than one page. Concerned the preparation of its own scientists.

Pm XVIII. brought in many new development literature. Military victory, ascension to the throne of monarchs generated celebrations Annie lyrics - odes. Among the authors allocated M. Lomonosov and G.
