Abstract

DURING the late eighteenth century, Britain, as a country of mercantile capitalism, was mainly interested in world-wide markets. At the same time, Russia was conscious of the restrictions which her existing territory placed on commerce during the winter. Therefore, she was especially interested in an ice-free port for trade and as an outpost from which to extend her power and influence to southward regions.
