It seems like you are trying to determine whether Peter the Great or Catherine the Great is the answer for each statement. Let's go through each statement one by one and figure out the correct answer:
1. Fought Poland and the Ottoman Empire to gain land in Eastern Europe:
- Peter the Great (P) fought against the Ottoman Empire to gain access to the Black Sea and expand Russia's territory eastwards.
- Catherine the Great (C) did not have significant conflicts with Poland or the Ottoman Empire related to gaining land in Eastern Europe.
- Therefore, the answer is Peter the Great (P).
2. Fought Sweden to gain access to the Baltic:
- Both Peter the Great (P) and Catherine the Great (C) engaged in wars against Sweden to gain control over territories bordering the Baltic Sea.
- Therefore, both Peter and Catherine can be considered valid answers for this statement.
3. Built St. Petersburg as the new capital:
- Peter the Great (P) founded St. Petersburg in 1703 and made it the new capital of Russia.
- Catherine the Great (C) did not build St. Petersburg.
- Therefore, the answer is Peter the Great (P).
4. Won access to the Black Sea:
- Peter the Great (P) fought against the Ottoman Empire and gained access to the Black Sea.
- Catherine the Great (C) already had access to the Black Sea, but she did expand and improve Russia's presence in the region.
- Therefore, both Peter and Catherine can be considered valid answers for this statement.
5. Added 200,000 square miles to Russian territory:
- Both Peter the Great (P) and Catherine the Great (C) expanded the Russian territory significantly during their reigns.
- Therefore, both Peter and Catherine can be considered valid answers for this statement.
6. Sent explorers across the Bering Sea to North America:
- Peter the Great (P) did not send explorers across the Bering Sea to North America.
- Catherine the Great (C) also did not send explorers across the Bering Sea to North America.
- Therefore, for this statement, neither Peter nor Catherine are valid answers.
7. Took control of what is now Alaska:
- Peter the Great (P) did not take control of Alaska.
- Catherine the Great (C) did not take control of Alaska either.
- Therefore, for this statement, neither Peter nor Catherine are valid answers.
To summarize the answers:
1. Peter the Great (P)
2. Both Peter the Great (P) and Catherine the Great (C)
3. Peter the Great (P)
4. Both Peter the Great (P) and Catherine the Great (C)
5. Both Peter the Great (P) and Catherine the Great (C)
