Ivan three was pushed into leadership at an early age . He was co - regent with his disabled father as a young boy and took over when he was only 22 years old which is when his father died . Ivan persistently , pursued the the unifying policy of his predecessors . He went to school and got a good amount of education during his youth . Finally he was brave enough to use his powers and conquer . He tried throughout his life to get people to get along with each other and this increased his power . Hoping this helped .. Ive studied Absolutism so i know about Ivan the terrible lol .
