Years: 1552 - 1563
Muscovy continues to wage wars and to expand despite the domestic turmoil of Ivan's late period.
Ivan defeats and annexes the Kazan' Khanate on the middle Volga in 1552 and later the Astrakhan' Khanate, where the Volga meets the Caspian Sea.
These victories give Muscovy access to the entire Volga River and to Central Asia.
