Why did Russia conquer Siberia?

Siberia is vast and despite the long distances Russia conquered it throughout the 16th and seventeenth centuries. But given that it was mostly empty and put Russia in contact with potential enemies why did Moscow conquer it? To find out watch this short and simple animated history documentary. The: As I understand it, a lot of it amounted to just random officers, minor noblemen and just plain dudes wandering about murdering locals and later sending some message that hey, we got this new place for you Tsar/closestauthorityfigure. Too bad I've utterly forgotten the example given once upon a time, but the lack of oversight could even get a little inconvenient. looks like the mentioned conflict with the Qinq was one such.

Very interesting and a really good video, as always. I have a suggestion for a future video: why Catalonia was directly annexed to France by Napoleon, unlike the rest of Spain (which was put in charge to Napoleon's younger brother?

Why is Spanish no longer used in the Phillipines if it was colonised by the Spanish for almost as long as the Americas and it was highly enforced (to the degree available at the time) in middle/upper-class circles?

Ok dude love your videos but is there any way you can shuffle the Patreon names once in a while? After a few videos in a row it's maddening hearing you go down the list every 3 minutes. No disrespect

I remember hearing that under Catherine the Great they were advancing into Siberia at 20 mil a day. With no opposition the only true enemy is lack of infrastructure and endless marshes.

If we go far enough to the east, we can grab Alaska and then sell it for bag of chips!
Ivan The Terrible. Who would get that name for his business decisions.

0: 52 why does the Orthodox cross look so weird? The top bar should be narrower than the second, and the slanted one should be going the opposite diagonal way

One missing element is the vast resources in the Siberian interior, there was vast amounts of Gold in just Yakutia, Coal, Copper, Iron and Oil and Gas these days

A lot to take-in there, but hence is History Matters' delivery-style. I mean, you could get a Bachelor's of Arts in History in just this 3 minute presentation!

Dear history matters, why is Korea part of the Qing in the final map?
By that logic, shouldn t Okinawa and Vietnam also be part of the Qing?

reply

Is this similar to how Canada just kinda owns all the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, even though basically nobody lives there?
reply

I often wonder how much different the people in Siberia are to the people west of the Ural mountains. We don't get to see them very often.

I love the fact that most of the responses to historical questions are, in essence Because they couldn't or Because they could
reply

Hey, hold up. Why is the map of China including Korea? I know they were a tributary state but they were still independent.
reply

I think Alaska, Sakhalin and the Kuril s should ve been mentioned as a side piece but nonetheless it gets the point across
