I am pretty sure Peter the Great forced Russian nobility to adopt to European ways, but Catherine the Great also helped if you were wondering! I hope that helps! :D

In 1697, Peter the Great went on a journey with his "Great Embassy," this was a very long trip to Western Europe. He saw that many European nations were strong, so he traveled to Western Europe to figure out how the Russians could be more like Western Europeans. While he was there, leaders discovered he was there, so he quickly left. Before leaving, he convinced over 750 Europeans to return to Russian with him. They were highly skilled and educated Europeans who were willing to train Russians to become doctors, soldiers, and artisans. His goal was to Westernize Russia, he made changes in the government, Russian culture (forced nobility to dress like Westerners and to cut their beards), made changes in the Russian Orthodox church, moved the capital to St. Petersburg and raised taxes to pay for reconstructing the military.

Constantinople thrived especially when the western portion of the Roman Empire fell. It served as perhaps the most advanced part of Europe at that time, as Western Europe was in complete chaos. Western Europe had been controlled by the Roman Empire for nearly 1,000 years and the Empire just fell. This is what forced Europe into the Dark Ages, where Europeans lived in fear and barely left their home. It also prevented Western Europe from advancing. Meanwhile, in the surviving eastern portion of the Roman Empire, or now called the Byzantine Empire, the people were thriving, especially those in the capital, Constantinople. Nothing was preventing this empire from advancing, and that's just what it did. The Byzantine Empire went on to rule for another 1,000 years!
The military power from United Kingdom and other countries finally forced China to trade with Europe. China has resisted trade with Europe all along.
