Years: 1804 - 1815
Russia continues to expand.

The Congress of Vienna creates the Kingdom of Poland (Russian Poland), to which Alexander grants a constitution.

Thus, Alexander I becomes the constitutional monarch of Poland while remaining the autocratic tsar of Russia.

He is also the limited monarch of Finland, which had been annexed in 1809 and awarded autonomous status.

In 1813 Russia gains territory in the Baku area of the Caucasus at the expense of Persia.

The empire is by now firmly ensconced in Alaska also.
