Detailed explanation-1: -Ivan III, known as Ivan the Great, (born Jan. 22, 1440, Moscow-died Oct. 27, 1505, Moscow), Grand prince of Moscow (1462–1505). Determined to enlarge the territory he inherited from his father, Ivan led successful military campaigns against the Tatars in the south (1458) and east (1467–69).
Detailed explanation-2: -Ivan III ruled from 1465 to 1502. He was the first Russian ruler to use the title of Tsar, and he entrenched himself as the solitary prince of all Russia. Most notably, he conquered the Novgorod Republic in 1478, and the Tver in 1485, which represent the most powerful and final of the other Muscovite principalities.
Detailed explanation-3: -Perhaps more importantly for history, Ahmed also led the Mongols during the Battle of the Ugra River in 1480 CE. Ivan III of Moscow soundly defeated the forces of the Golden Horde and the battle has ever since been recognized as the end of the Mongol domination of Russia.
