Under his rule, Russia moved from being a poor farming society into an empire as strong as the other European powers. Peter toured Europe, sometimes in disguise to avoid being recognised, and learned about western culture and science. Returning to Russia, he brought changes to his army and government to make Russia more like Europe, especially Germany. He spent much of his time fighting wars, first against the Ottoman Empire and then against Sweden. He founded St. Petersburg his most lasting contribution to Russia, on some land he conquered along the Baltic Sea. A gateway to Europe, St. Petersburg became the new capital in his kingdom. In 1725, after bravely trying to rescue some drowning sailors, he ended up with a bad cold and died a short time later.
