Michael of Russia vs Subhan Quli Khan

Michael Romanov, a 16-year-old boyar, was elected Tsar by the Zemsky Sobor, ending the Time of Troubles. His election established the Romanov dynasty, which would rule Russia until 1917.

Michael's government signed the Treaty of Stolbovo with Sweden, ending the Ingrian War. Russia ceded Ingria and access to the Baltic Sea but regained Novgorod and other territories. Sweden became a dominant Baltic power.

Michael's government signed the Truce of Deulino with Poland-Lithuania, ending the Polish-Muscovite War. Poland retained Smolensk and other territories, but recognized Michael as Tsar, ending Polish claims to the Russian throne.

Michael launched the Smolensk War to recapture Smolensk from Poland. The Russian army besieged the city but was forced to surrender after Polish relief forces arrived. The Treaty of Polyanovka confirmed Polish control of Smolensk.

Subhan Quli Khan became the Jani-Begid ruler of the Khanate of Bukhara after the death of his brother Abd al-Aziz Khan. His reign was the longest of the Ashtarkhanid dynasty, lasting over two decades.

Subhan Quli Khan ruled Bukhara for 21 years, a period of relative stability. He maintained the khanate's borders and avoided major conflicts, though the state's power continued to decline gradually.

Subhan Quli Khan died in 1702, ending his long reign. His death led to a succession struggle among his sons, further weakening the Ashtarkhanid dynasty and paving the way for future instability.
