Alexander II of Russia, known as Alexander the Liberator, introduced major reforms during his time as Emperor of Russia. He abolished serfdom, restructured the legal system, encouraged local self-governance, enforced universal military conscription, and curtailed noble privileges. His foreign policy leaned towards peace, and he backed the United States during the Civil War. While generally peaceful, he did have a short conflict with the Ottoman Empire and sought to expand into the Far East and Caucasus territories.
