She personally enjoyed language and art and used those influences during her reign. These qualities are part of what made her likeable to the Russian people. She dedicated herself to expanding the Russian empire and building a stronger nation that she did achieve on a great level. THough she was met with some failures, she remained determined to enhance Russia's influence in other areas even at the cost of neighboring areas such as Poland. There were two Russo- Turkish wars that Catherine the great waged with Turkey in the hopes of expanding Russia's territory. She achieved in the second war in adding a substantial amount of land from the coast of the Black sea and in the first much of southern Ukraine and the Northern caucasus were added to Russia. Overall, Catherine the great's political views consisted of enlightenment ideas and the determination to expand Russia's territory and create a stronger Russian state with higher influence in neighboring areas.
