-Catherine the Great expanded her country.  Catherine’s engagements in Poland and against Turkey worked favorably for her, noted Massie. In 1772, Poland was partitioned between Russia, Austria and Prussia, with subsequent partitions occurring in 1793 and 1795. Additionally, in 1774, after Russian troops were in a position to threaten Istanbul, Turkey sued for peace, with Russia gaining territories on the Black Sea coast and the Sea of Azov area.  
 
-She was an empress of Russia who ruled from 1762-1796, the longest reign of any female Russian leader. 

-Catherine's rule brought about something of a golden period for female artists. The time that Catherine the Great rose to power, that female artists also rose in Russia. For example, Princess Natalia Ivanovna Kurakina wrote at least 45 songs.

-Her reign was a period of extension of trade and communication. In 1785, Catherine issued the Charter to the Nobility, which freed Russian nobles from compulsory military or state service. They were also to elect a Marshal of the Nobility, who spoke on their behalf to the monarch. Catherine provided an environment where commodities were plentiful, trade expanded and communications developed. Large government spending led to shortage of silver and huge masses of copper coins in the Russian domestic market; making large transactions difficult.

Was it only because of his many great achievements, or is it his charm?

How were his men able to be so loyal to him, and sacrifice so much for him even though he was a selfish, egotistical, military genius who's greed for power drove him to to conquer almost all of Europe? ---> What are some actions that gave Napoleon the name of a selfish, egotistical, military genius?

Facts:
Napoleon's rise to power is one of the great stories of European history. He was born the son of a minor noble, yet in just a few decades he gained control of France and conquered most of Europe, becoming an emperor of the French and the King of Italy! Although Napoleon’s physical appearance is not impressive (he was about 5’6), his charisma, ambition, bravery and intelligence lead him to accomplish many things for the French, and affect our world now. Napoleon inspired bravery and devotion in his men, and its opposite: fear and doubt in his opponents. This made his men and people love and look up to him—even now. 

Revolutionized military organization, training and tactics; sponsored the Napoleonic Code; reorganized education; and established the long-lived Concordat with the papacy. 

Napoleon also sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States in 1803. Napoleon’s act of selling the Louisianan Territory to the U.S inspired the U.S to buy more territories, for example, the U.S bought Florida from Spain in 1819, after Napoleon died, which shows that Napoleon’s actions have a lasting effect on people, even after he died. 

Some accomplishments: 

Economic, Religious, and Educational reforms. Napoleon also worked hard to create a unified Europe.

The Code Napoleon- 
basis of law in France and a number of other countries, as well as in the state of Louisiana! 

Napoleonic Code- Napoleon sponsored the Napoleonic Code. The Napoleonic Code ensured that people would have a chance to gain wealth. Many countries like Great Britain, Russia, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark has based some aspect of their laws on the Napoleonic Code! The Code itself is still in use today in former French colonies such as Quebec and Louisiana.
