How did Peter the great change Russia?
A. He reduced its land holdings
B. He modernized the army
C. He sold its seaports to raise money
D. He destroyed its industry
Is it B?
I always thought he modernized everything not just the army.
I agree. B is the best answer.
I have to agree, but would say Navy :)
Its B. But u r also right, he did modernize more than just Russia's army.
I said that partly because he established a seaport for Russia opening to the rest of Northern Europe. It was named for him for most of the history since.
Hi, so Peter the Great did positive things so I think you should take that into account and yes B would be correct
Yes, you are correct. Peter the Great of Russia indeed modernized various aspects of the country, not just the army. The correct answer is B: He modernized the army. However, it is important to note that Peter the Great's modernization efforts extended far beyond the military. Here's how you can arrive at the correct answer by eliminating the other options:
A. He reduced its land holdings: Peter the Great did not reduce Russia's land holdings. In fact, he expanded the territory of Russia, adding significant territories such as the territories along the Baltic Sea and the Crimean Peninsula. Therefore, option A is incorrect.
C. He sold its seaports to raise money: Peter the Great did not sell Russia's seaports. On the contrary, he sought to establish direct access to the sea and built the city of Saint Petersburg as a new port on the Baltic Sea. Therefore, option C is incorrect.
D. He destroyed its industry: Peter the Great did not destroy Russia's industry. Instead, he aimed to develop and modernize various industries, particularly in areas such as shipbuilding, metallurgy, and manufacturing. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
By process of elimination, the correct answer is indeed B: He modernized the army. However, as you rightly pointed out, his reforms encompassed broader modernization efforts that impacted various aspects of Russian society and governance.
