How Did Russia Conquer Siberia? 1/2

Показать описание

It's 1582. Yermak Timofeyevich and his band of 840 Cossacks are preparing to conquer the Khanate of Sibir. They are acting on behalf of the Stroganov family, henchmen to Ivan the Terrible.
After the fall of the Golden Horde and the capture of the Khanate of Kazan, Ivan IV is interested in the Siberian fur trade that became extremely lucrative after the founding of the Muscovy Company.

So strange that the greatest land conquests have been made by an handful of desperadoes and not by huge armies.

The Russians firing at the horde troops with cannons and muskets must have been like how Hannibal's elephants terrorized the Romans in the Second Punic War.

Is it wrong that I learned all of this history, names, and nations from just playing hundreds of hours of Europa Universalis 4.

A lot of historian Youtube channels do similar topics, but this is definitely new. Learned something new today. Great video!

Something you forgot to mention or maybe you didnt know was, that Yermak main source of motivation to conquer Siberia was revenge. He seeks revenge as one of the Khans stole his future bride and he didnt stop till he got here back.

In case anyone is wondering, the name Siberia comes from the name of the Sabir tribe, which means "northern".

Hell yes! I have always wondered how the Russians started out from Europe to somehow controlling the vast territory of Siberia! I knew there was the Mongols but after they fell apart who controlled all that wasteland?

Russians expansion eastward was due to the demand of furs, would have never thought!

After the fall of Golden Horde, many Turkic military elites stated serving Moscow. Half of Russian nobilities are of Turkic origin.
Ermak is a turkic name Yermek.
He also had Turkic roots.

Informative, good to find out how Siberia was conquered. I always found Ivan IV "the Terrible" to be a interesting man, he had his own inquisition apparently and he even put the city of Novgorod to the sword! Keep up the good work!!
