Answer:

The real answer is that Russia needed a port in the black sea for trade and influence. Also the old Russian empire fought the Ottomans to gain this territory. Back then in the Russian Empire era, There was no such thing as Ukrainian country nor a group. Even the now days Ukrainians have a different culture and dialect. West, East,North and east Pontic steppe which are way more closer to Russia. Russia believed the Crimea and eastern Ukraine belongs to Russia. The reason for today's hatred of the Ukrainian people towards the Russians is that during Stalins soviet era, he starved many Ukrainians over 5 million died. The treatment of the Ukrainians was so bad that even when the Nazis arrived in the Ukraine during WW2, it was seen as liberation.

Explanation:

Main reasons

1. Influence and trade

2.Crimea is majority Russian.

3.Ukraine was created in 1918 and was never really a country. The region of the Ukraine was inhabited by many peoples over history like golden hordes, the Turks, Russians, Germans, Romans. So Russians view Ukraine's legitimacy very low.

4.Eastern Ukrainians want to be a part of Russia and western Ukrainians want to be left alone.

5.Putin wants to revive Russia to be a super power again.

By annexing Ukrainian land on the Black Sea coast, Putin also annexes the rights to any hydrocarbons found in its maritime zones.

Okay, I can't speak for sure for the Spanish one but it is probably because they were looking for gold and timber. The French question I believe has to do with the trading of fur. Then I think that the Wichita Indians lived in Twin Villages and it was located along the Red River.

During Reconstruction, how did the Radical Reconstructionist attempt to maintain political and congressional control? What polit

gtnhenbr [62]

Based on historical perspective, the Radical Reconstructionists attempted to maintain political and congressional control by "override President's vetoes and pass the Civil Rights Act and the bill to extend the Freedmen's Bureau."

During the Reconstruction era, after the end of the American Civil War, between 1863 to 1877, the Radical Reconstructionists ensured that they maintained political and congressional control. This situation occurred despite President Andrew Johnson being a southern Jacksonian Democrat.

Subsequently, the political and social impact this situation had on the southern states was that the southern states were placed under military control, and there were restrictions on political and voting rights for ex-Confederate civil officials and military officers.

Also, congress passed the 14th and 15th Amendments which granted equal protection under the law and banned voting discrimination regardless of race.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the Reconstruction era was a significant period in the history of the United States.
