How did Catherine the Great get to the throne?

Catherine II (the Great) took the throne because, like all people, she wanted the power. Her husband (Peter III -who was mentally retarded) was later murdered, possibly with Catherine's consent, therefore dethroneing her husband, and taking his place. "Her married life was miserable, with frequent threats of divorce from her husband. She also disliked her son, the future Tsar Paul I. Carfefully cultivating the Russian court, Catherine benefited from a plot to dethrone her Husband, Peter III, after an unpopular foreign policy move. Officers of the palace guard installed her as empress in 1762." Stearns, Peter N.. World Civilizations The Global Experience. AP* Fifth Edition. New York: Pearson Longman, 2007. (396)
