There was an arranged marriage to future Peter III/ son of Empress Elizabeth. The&nbsp; Empress had two problems, she hated Friedrich II Der Grosse of Preussen/ she ate way to much for sitting on her duff most of the time.</p><p>On her death, Peter III became Czar. At this time 1760, the Russian armies where in Berlin/ French/ Austrians armies ready to wipe out Prussia. However, wisely Peter admired Friedrich and made peace/ leaving the Prussians able to deal with the French/ Austrians.</p><p>Back to Moscow, Katharina found Peter repugnant/ ulgy and incompetent, so had her lover murder him. This made her sole ruler. Over her long reign she dealt with the &quot;Peasants Revolt&quot; Tartar pirates on the Black Sea/ made Imperial Russia great again.[ATTACH=full]1070889[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
