In 1552 Ivan the Terrible, having raised and equipped a powerful army, commenced to subdue the rebellious Tartars. In the depth of winter Ivan led 150,000 men and 50 guns to the walls of Kazan and commenced to besiege it. The siege was long and costly, and the army, which suffered severely, was only kept in camp by the determination of Ivan. Although the Tartars heroically defended their city, Kazan was carried by assault on 2 October. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).); © Look and Learn
