ws almost any country to join. Most countries want to be associated with Southwest Asia. There is no natural physical boundary between Europe and Southwest Asia. Political changes happen in Europe very frequently.

Well, Southwest Asia actually has a natural division: the Dardanelles link the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara, which then is linked to the Black Sea by the Bosporus Straits. The problem lies in the fact that countries lie on both sides and in grey spots. While the Ural Mountains are the technical geographical divide between Europe and Siberian Asia, Russia controls both sides, so is Russia in Europe or Asia? And if Russia is in Europe, then do you continue Europe to include nations that lie in the Caucasus, which lie directly east of the Black Sea but west of the Urals? Turkey owns land on both the European side of the Sea of Marmara and on the Asian side. Cyprus lies on an island in the Mediterranean Sea, and while its closer to Asia, it is in the EU. Even Greece becomes a grey area, because it owns islands that are barrier islands of Asia Minor, and Kazakhstan is grey because the Urals end in the middle of the nation.

Why were farmers who moved to the city trapped there? They owed their landlords too much money to leave. They were promised more
alexgriva [62]

Farmers who moved to the city thought they would have a better life there. Most of the time, they had very little land, not enough to guarantee their survival. Two or three bad harvests ruined them. They had to ask for money to the landlord in order to keep working, but if they didn't have enough to pay them when the harvest came they would have to leave the land to pay their debt. With no place left to go, they moved to the city lured by promises of a better life that turned out to be false.
