Alexander II’s Reforms: Causes and Consequences
Author(s)Watts, Carl Peter
AbstractAlexander II’s ‘great reforms’ were considered the most significant events in the Russian history in the 19th century. He abolished serfdom in 1861 and became known as the ‘Tsar Liberator.’ He was assassinated 20 years later. Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War resulted in these reforms, which were intended to eliminate Russia’s archaic practices and improve its military efficiency, economic condition, and socio-political structure.
