There is a couple reasons. In 2008, Ukraine discovered multiple areas rich in oil near the east and west borders, and in the oceans around Crimea (Map from RealLifeLore), making Ukraine a potential competitor in the European oil industry, which is where most of Russia's profits come from. If Ukraine becomes a competitor, it would hurt the Russian economy. In response to this discovery, Russia has annexed the island of Crimea to add it to its own territory. The other reason is because of a possible threat from NATO. In the 2nd mad, you can see the Russian Territorial borders in orange, and the NATO borders in blue. If Ukraine (Yellow) joins NATO, Belarus would be near impossible to defend against being surrounded by NATO territory on 3 sides, but if Russia had Ukraine, it would be significantly easier to defend Belarus.

How did improvements in techno<br>society during the Industrial revolution

Sergio [31]

The term Industrial Revolution, like similar historical concepts, is more convenient than precise. It is convenient because history requires division into periods for purposes of understanding and instruction and because there were sufficient innovations at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries to justify the choice of this as one of the periods. The term is imprecise, however, because the Industrial Revolution has no clearly defined beginning or end. Moreover, it is misleading if it carries the implication of a once-for-all change from a “preindustrial” to a “postindustrial” society, because, as has been seen, the events of the traditional Industrial Revolution had been well prepared in a mounting tempo of industrial, commercial, and technological activity from about 1000 CE and led into a continuing acceleration of the processes of industrialization that is still proceeding in our own time. The term Industrial Revolution must thus be employed with some care. It is used below to describe an extraordinary quickening in the rate of growth and change and, more particularly, to describe the first 150 years of this period of time, as it will be convenient to pursue the developments of the 20th century separately.
