Daesh was the group the claimed responsibility... But if you like conspiracy theories I think the government is trying to take our guns away so they stage these attacks to take over....
The Cossacks is a group of Slavic people located between Ukraine and Russia that was created between the 14th and the 15th century by the emergence of 2 groups.
They played an important role in the 18th century during the Russian Empire, protecting its borders from Attacks, and participating in most of the wars.
They participated too in the Russian civil war in 1917, till they declared their independence in 1918.
We can still find Cossacks groups in Russia, Ukraine, United States, and of course other countries. They're considered as an ethnicity since 2010.
Hope this Helps! :)
Well an obvious answer would be slavery, depending on how late you're talking. After slavery ended, the country began what is known as the "industrial revolution". The north had already begun industrializing for a while, but in the 1870's and beyond, things ramped up quite a bit. Factories for clothes, shoes, farming equipment, packaged foods, and etc. became more popular. You also had coal mines, railroads, and steel mills. This showed the country was moving in the direction of mass production, and moving away from agricultural ways of living. This also meant child labor, which led to many child labor laws in the later years. This also meant many moved out of farming communities, and into larger, noisy, and crowded cities. Many immigrated to the US to take advantage of that, which led to some tension between communities.
Hope that helps!
Some of the pull factor codes were things like the Homestead acts which were a series of acts on land allocation. For example, if you went westwards, the country would give you a huge piece of land which would become fully yours after five years of successful agricultural business.
I believe it's copper and gold :)
