Why did Russia conquer Siberia? (Short Animated Documentary)

Why not?

They were expecting an ICE SHORTAGE!

No one was stopping them.

ancient greeks called western russia hiborea
and eastern russia siborea
the word rusia literally means realm of boreas.
that answers ur question?

it didnt conquer it
it settled it .almost all siberian are ethnic russians.
but answer your questions.
to reopend the trans artic shipng line and to open trans siberian route.aka Silk road.And cus they foundore resources there than the english found in America

TL;DR: Russia conquered Siberia cause, why the fuck not?

Why not.

When did they grab Alaska?

That was pretty dumb to this channel.
Gun power that made Europe have power to shoot people from distance.
Germany had best tanks to shoot elite bunks and air to destroy city and factory in Europe wars.
Today nato and Russia have best ammo to assassinate tanks from air and drone too.

I live in Novosibirsk lol

I think uk and france make japan strong as puppet country to stop russia. Also protect them in hongkong and macau from china.

Shock instead of bearing down on Europe Russia was more interested in quelling the Tartars and advancing eastwards away from Europe so maybe Russia wasn't the threat it's been portrayed as

In this day, Russia is attacking a smaller country, (Ukraine). Russia's rockets and bombs, some of the lands in Ukraine are tragically getting down. But president of Ukraine said, evil can NOT be trusted. I just hope it doesn't get any worse🇺🇸🇾🇪

Caucasia, central asia, north asia,...

Colonialism was the bread and butter of European countries. And Russia was no different.

I thought they wanted the land, because they wanted to rule as much of the world as they can. Siberia being an easy massive land grab because it wasn't governed. I'm glad they weren't able to conquer the Americas, given how significantly weakly it was governed at the time they reached territory that at the time was ruled by the British and Spanish. As their border was pushed back north from California to Alaska's Panhandle.

Why did Russia conquer Siberia? They are Russians.

why did Russia occupy Siberia? because nobody did for some reason

Appreciate that "well" joke

Russia is going to Russia for all of Russian history basically?

Now do a bit about why didn’t the US buy it when offered

Russians did exactly the same action to east, as the USA did it to west and in the way exterminating millions of amerindian populations. Fact.

I wonder how soon it will be before China will want to reclaim those lands from Russia?
You know, like they are claiming with Taiwan.
Could be fun.

- Why did Russia conquer Siberia?
- It's free real estate

Siberia was basically free land and there's no significant force to stop Russia's claim, and the population was so sparse it costs next to nothing to govern it.

It's pretty much why Russia agreed to sell Alaska to the US, because they thought it was just as worthless as Siberia.

Short answer: They wanna be real huge lol

Basically Russia conquered Siberia just so they could say they had the biggest country in the world. That's pretty much the jist of it all.

The title "Tsar" litterally means emperor to my knowledge.

I'd like to say that 'tsar' is similar, if not, the equivalent of emperor. Tsar derives from the old Bulgarian/Slavic word Kesar (кесар) which itself is taken from latin Caesar

Maybe it would have been a good idea to mention the multiple genocides that happen in the making of this empire instead of reproducing the old colonial myths of an empty land.

I came happily hoping to find an answer which is not because they could but failed

Russia: Stealing your land since the 1500s. The more things change, the more they stay the same, apparently. Slava Ukraini.

Where is Korea

Cuz it’s free real estate

Because if they didn't, other countries will.

They didn’t mention that Russia has long used Siberia as a place of punishment.

The long history of Russians taking other people's land. Much like what they are trying now with Ukraine.

If they are going to be attacked such as by the Mongols, might as well defeat them and annex their territories to create a buffer.

they got the resources

Resume: its free? Take it

The fiercdst russian nationalists are people in siberia who mostly originate ffom western russia

Hyperborean utopipnosm
Resources and to bulld the trans siberian and trans Artic shiping lines(the trans artic has already been opened.

So we see Russia’s imperial expansion was a great deal less brutal than west Europeans, expanding into the Americas, Africa and Australia.

The question is: where are all the nationals, that was leaving in Sebiria?
Spoiled: fast all of them was killed.

Russia : It's free real state

In short, why not? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why the Anglosaxon s conquered America ? What happened to the native Indians ?
