The Russian Empire was the final period of the Russian monarchy, spanning most of northern Eurasia from its establishment in November 1721 until the proclamation of the Russian Republic in September 1917. At its height in the late 19th century, it covered about 22,800,000 km2 (8,800,000 sq mi), roughly one-sixth of the world's landmass, making it the third-largest empire in history, behind only the British and Mongol empires. It also colonized Alaska between 1799 and 1867. The empire's 1897 census, the only one it conducted, found a population of 125.6 million with considerable ethnic, linguistic, religious, and socioeconomic diversity.
The Russian Empire was a vast monarchy that ruled most of northern Eurasia from 1721 until 1917, covering about one-sixth of the world's land at its peak and making it the third-largest empire in history. It matters because of its enormous geographic scope, its ethnically and religiously diverse population of over 125 million people, and its significant role in shaping the political map of Europe and Asia before its collapse during the Russian Revolution.
