Note

Elizabeth Petrovna (1709-62), empress of Russia (1741-62), born near
Moscow, the Youngest daughter of Peter the Great and Catherine I. She
became empress in 1741 by staging a palace revolution that deposed the
infant emperor Ivan VI (1740-64) and his mother Anna Leopoldovna
(1718-46), who acted as regent. In 1743 Elizabeth won a historic
diplomatic victory when her representative negotiated an advantageous end
to the Long-standing dispute between Sweden and Russia. She was chiefly
responsible for establishing and maintaining the alliance of Austria,
France, and Russia that almost defeated Prussia in the Seven Years' War.
Until her Death, a year before the end of the war, the armies of the
alliance had been successful, but soon afterWard the alliance
disintegrated and Prussia gained the final victory. She named her nephew
Peter III as her successor. Elizabeth's nonpolitical achievements include
the establishment of the Moscow State University in 1755 and the Academy
of Arts at Saint Petersburg in 1757.
