An Overview







     The Russian Empire, also commonly known as Imperial Russia, was the third largest empire in the history of the world.  Lasting nearly two centuries, from 1721 to 1917, the Empire went through several phases as its leadership changed from one generation to the next.  As with any empire, Imperial Russia had its ups and downs, its highs and lows, and its goods and bads, many of which depended on which side's perspective you viewed a particular aspect from.  Also, as with any empire from the past, its territorial conquest, combined with its monarchal government, led to the people's revolution and the eventual collapse of the Empire.
