Alexander III (of Russia)

    0.03 sec.

Alexander III (1845-1894)

Tsar of Russia from 1881, when he succeeded his father, Alexander II. He pursued a reactionary policy, promoting Russification and persecuting the Jews. He married Dagmar (1847-1928), daughter of Christian IX of Denmark and sister of Queen Alexandra of Britain, in 1866.

A protectionist economic policy enabled rapid industrial development, which resulted in a great increase in the number of industrial workers and the spread of Marxist and social democratic ideas. In foreign affairs Alexander III strictly followed the policy of peace and non-interference; towards the end of his reign the Franco-Russian rapprochement took place.
