The Muscovy Company, established in the late 16th century, primarily focused on trade between England and Russia. Its imports included valuable commodities such as furs, particularly sable and fox, which were highly sought after in Europe. Additionally, the company imported timber, wax, and various metals, contributing to the growing trade network between England and Russia during that period.

Where was the Muscovy Company from?

The company played a significant role in establishing trade relations between England and Russia during the Elizabethan era.


How did Russia become a European power before World War 1?

Russia, whether as Kievan Rus or Muscovy, has always been a power in Eastern Europe. Soon after the fall of Byzantium, the Princes of Muscovy claimed to be the true successors to the eastern part of the Roman Empire and adopted the Byzantine double-headed eagle as their dynastic 'beast'. (That's why the Romanovs also used it). Muscovy claimed to be the protector of Orthodox Christianity and also claimed the right to intervene at will in the Balkans. Until about 1780 most of this was just talk. From about 1650 onwards Muscovy/Russia began to push westwards into Poland. War with Sweden in 1700-21 brought further westward expansion. Tsar Peter the Great (reigned as sole Tsar 1696-1725) and later, also Catherine the Great (reigned 1762-96), made huge efforts to 'westernize' Russia in the 1700s. Russia became involved in many of the major European wars from the Seven Years' War (1756-63) onwards. So Russia was a major European power long before the approach to WW1.

Who did tariffs help in the years leading up to the civil war?

The North - which was trying to protect its own manufacturing industry by taxing imports. As it was mainly the South that needed imports (having no manufacturing industry), this looked like the North levying a tax on the South, and it caused a lot of bad blood.
