Daulatrao Scindia vs Feodor III

Daulatrao Scindia's forces were decisively defeated by the British East India Company under Arthur Wellesley at the Battle of Assaye. This was a major engagement of the Second Anglo-Maratha War.

Daulatrao Scindia's forces were defeated by the British under Lord Lake at the Battle of Laswari. This battle resulted in the destruction of Scindia's French-trained battalions and the loss of Aligarh.

Daulatrao Scindia signed the Treaty of Surji-Anjangaon with the British after his defeat at Assaye. He ceded large territories including Delhi, Agra, and parts of Gujarat, and accepted British suzerainty.

Daulatrao Scindia signed a subsidiary alliance with the British, becoming a princely state under British protection. He retained control of Gwalior but lost his independence in foreign affairs.

Daulatrao Scindia's forces were defeated by the British at the Battle of Mahidpur during the Third Anglo-Maratha War. This defeat further reduced Scindia's power and territory.

Feodor III continued the war with the Ottoman Empire over control of Ukraine. The conflict ended with the Treaty of Bakhchisarai in 1681, which established the Dnieper River as the border between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, ceding left-bank Ukraine to Russia.

Feodor III encouraged the adoption of Western European fashions, including shaving beards and wearing Polish-style clothing, at the Russian court. This was an early step in the Westernization of Russian elite culture, later expanded by Peter the Great.

Feodor III abolished the system of mestnichestvo, which determined noble rank and appointments based on ancestry rather than merit. This reform aimed to modernize the Russian state and military by allowing promotion based on ability, reducing the power of the old boyar aristocracy.

Feodor III approved the founding of the Slavic Greek Latin Academy in Moscow, the first higher education institution in Russia. It was intended to train officials and clergy in Greek, Latin, and Slavic languages, promoting learning and reducing the influence of foreign scholars.
