The steppe and forest-steppe of Ukraine and southern Russia is good agricultural land, but it was traditionally held by pastoral nomads. Any state that could drive off the nomads and fill the land with tax-paying peasants would expand its power enormously. During the period 1500–1800, this region was taken under Russian control.

"The history of Russia is the history of a country being colonized....migration and colonization of the country have been fundamental facts of our history.." Vasily Klyuchevsky, Kurs russkoy istorii, I, 20–21.

In the absence of a good map, locations will be given as approximately so many kilometers directly south of Moscow, and then so many kilometers east or west of that line. Thus, Kiev is about 600 south and 500 west, while Perekop at the head of the Crimean peninsula is 1100s and 250w. For contrast, France is not quite 1,000 kilometers from north to south and Moscow is about 1,000 kilometers south of the White Sea. Since these numbers are estimates, they should not be cited or copied.

Explanation:

The Iraq war began in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq and the overthrowing of Saddam Hussein by the US and its coalition.

The challenges of the Iraq war include; sectarian and ethnic tensions and conflicts, breakdown of Iraq's territorial integrity, as well as economic challenges.

The goal of the Afghanistan war was to remove the Taliban from power, in order to destroy Al Qaeda's terrorists and camps following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
