Peter III of Russia
HE RUINED RUSSIA IN 6 MONTHS!
Rein and Fall -He ruled from December 25, 1761 to June 28, 1762 -He was very pro-Prussian -He took Russia out of the Seven Years War (which they were virtually about to win) so they could make peace with Prussia -He changed the Russian army uniform to look like those of the Prussians. -He also had cannons blasting day and night in St.Petersburg because he liked the sound.
-Peter was born in Keil, Prussia. -His birth name is Karl Peter Ulrich. -His mother Anne Petrovna died 2 weeks after he was born. -Anne's sister, Elizabeth, became empress of Rusia in 1742 and proclaimed Peter her heir. -When she died, Peter partied. -Elizabeth had Peter marry his second cousin, Catherine.
In power and ready to have some fun!
