Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Russia was largely isolated from the rest of Europe because of its allegiance to the Greek Orthodox Church, rather than the Roman Catholic. When the Catholic Church split in 1054, the Great Schism divided European Catholicism, and Russia aligned with the Greek Orthodox faith. Thus, Russia was largely left out of the continental religious conflicts that dominated the century. This, combined with the lack of a warm-water port and issues with the Asian empires, set Russia on a path distinct from that of its European counterparts.
