Catherine the Great was born in Stettin, Prussia (now
Szczecin in Poland), on 2nd May 1729. Her father was Prince
Christian August of the Anhelt family. He was a Prussian army
officer and was governor of Stettin.
In the 18th century wealthy children had their own private
teachers and so Catherine received a lot of her education
from her French nanny Babette. She learnt French, German,
History, Religion and Music.
When Catherine was fifteen she went to Russia where she
met and married the Grand Duke Peter in 1745. In December
1761, Peter III became Emperor of Russia and Catherine his
empress. Only a few months later, she became the sole ruler
of Russia.
During her reign, Russia became one of the great powers of
Europe. Catherine developed the arts and sciences in her
country. Under her direction, St Petersburg became one of
the world's greatest capitals. It was a fantastic period for
theatre and music. Catherine II also improved the country's
education system.
Catherine died of a stroke on 17th November, 1796. During
her reign she made Russia a great nation.
