Why are all Russian czars German?

There is only one German czar in Russia, and that is Catherine.

When Peter the Great defeated Sweden and seized a vast area along the Baltic Sea, his ambition expanded even more, and he even tried to gain control of the whole sea area. But because Germany was the largest country along the Baltic Sea at that time, Russia could not beat Germany for a while, so Peter the Great thought of "in-laws" and married his eldest daughter to a German prince.

After Peter the Great died, his youngest daughter became the czar of Russia. However, his little daughter has never given birth to a child in her life. As a result, his little daughter went to Germany to adopt her nephew and named him Peter III. When Peter III came to be the Crown Prince from Germany, he also brought his fiancee Sophia from Germany and took another Russian name, yekaterina.

First, she colluded with two senior officers at home and bribed a British ambassador abroad. Then, she staged a palace coup and killed her husband. Then, he publicly ascended the throne of the Russian czar.
