Was Novgorod a democratic republic?

Ivan III begins his reign with an attack on the Khanate of Kazan.

A refresher on the situation as Ivan III takes over and begins his annexations.

Vasily II is succeeded by his son Ivan III as Moscow reaches a turning point.

After decades in decline, the Horde breaks up into new khanates.

Jogaila’s death means that Poland also has to choose a successor. The situation gets complicated.

The death of Vytautas with no clear successor lined up gives Jogaila another headache.

Jogaila gets himself a young wife and finally has a son, while Sigismund of Luxembourg comes up with an interesting proposal for Vyatautas.

After Yuri Dmitryevich’s death, his sons make their own bids for the throne of Moscow.

With the death of Vasily I, Moscow sees its first contested succession in generations.

Following their success at Tannenburg, Jogaila and Vytautas enter another agreement, this time more or less as equals. Does it create a genuine union, or an independent Lithuania? At the Council of Constance, Poland defe

Jogaila and Vytautas finally manage to work together, leading to a game changing battle with the Teutonic Order.

Vasily tries not paying tribute while Edigu is distracted, but gets caught out. Vytautas and Jogaila reach a new agreement.

Timur’s defeat of Toqtamish and ravaging of the Horde’s territory is often referred to as the end of the Horde. But that’s not quite the case.

The three rulers of Moscow, Lithuania and the Horde find themselves in a period of cooperation. It does not end as well as they might have hoped.

Taking the crown of Poland gives Jogaila a new problem - how to govern Lithuania.

With his own baptism, marriage, and coronation out of the way, Jogaila moves on to the other parts of his deal.

When Algirdas dies, he leaves his heir several problems. Their neighbors in Poland also have problems. Maybe they can help each other.

Dmitry Donskoy finds out that his victory was rather Pyrrhic.

Was the Battle of Kulikovo the beginning of liberation from the Mongols?
