Why did Russia and Iran want to view the Caspian as a lake instead of a sea?

History

The word Caspian is derived from the name of the Caspi, an ancient people who lived to the southwest of the sea in Transcaucasia. Strabo wrote that "to the country of the Albanians belongs also the territory called Caspiane, which was named after the Caspian tribe, as was also the sea; but the tribe has now disappeared". Moreover, the Caspian Gates, which is the name of a region in Iran's Tehran province, possibly indicates that they migrated to the south of the sea. The Iranian city of Qazvin shares the root of its name with that of the sea. In fact, the traditional Arabic name for the sea itself is Bahr al-Qazwin (Sea of Qazvin).

In classical antiquity among Greeks and Persians it was called the <span>Hyrcanian Ocean</span>. In Persian antiquity, as well as in modern Iran, it is known as the دریای خزر, Daryā-e Khazar; it is also sometimes referred to as <span>Mazandaran Sea</span> (Persian: دریای مازندران‎‎) in Iran. Ancient Arabic sources refer to it as Baḥr Gīlān (بحر گیلان) meaning "the Gilan Sea".

Turkic languages refer to the lake as <span>Khazar Sea</span>. In Turkmen, the name is Hazar deňizi, in Azeri, it is Xəzər dənizi, and in modern Turkish, it is Hazar denizi. In all these cases, the second word simply means "sea", and the first word refers to the historical Khazars who had a large empire based to the north of the Caspian Sea between the 7th and 10th centuries. An exception is Kazakh, where it is called Каспий теңізі, Kaspiy teñizi (Caspian Sea).

Which country most influence the development and legacy of the traditional American cowboy
yuradex [85]

Cowboys originated in Mexico.

When the spanish conquerors arrived, they started stablishing ranchs and farms, and the role of the <em>vaquero </em>(from the spanish word <em>vaca</em>) was coined to  name the men who took care of the livestock, and who were also good with certain skills like herding, roping and riding.

As the ranching practices were spread, so did the culture of the cowboy, including their clothing style and their skills.

The first cowboys had different backgrounds like Mexican, Native American and African American, among others.
