Peter the Great
I
INTRODUCTION
Peter the Great or Peter I (1672-1725), tsar and, later, emperor of Russia (1682-1725), who is linked with the Westernization of Russia and its rise as a great power.

Atlantic Slave Trade.
members of the planters’ society. Through most of the years of the Atlantic trade, prices for Africans remained favorable in relation to the price of the crops theyproduced. They were, thus, the best economic solution for plantation owners seeking inexpensive labor. The Atlantic slave trade began as a trickle in the 1440s and grew slowly through the 17th century. By 1700, 25,000 slaves, on average, were crossing the Atlantic everyyear. After 1700 the trade grew much more rapidly to a peak in the...

Les acteurs n'en continuèrent pas moins à jouer chacun plusieurs personnages, en fonction des besoins de la pièce. Quant à la comédie, on lui attribue plusieurs précurseurs, mais elle n'atteignit sa plénitude qu'avec Aristophane dont les pièces, à caractère politique, apparurent dans la seconde moitié du Ve siècle avant J.-C.
