To say that the country in the world is most obsessed with territory should be the former Soviet Union, now Russia. Although most of the land occupied by the Soviet Union was not suitable for human habitation, the Soviet Union still could not tolerate the loss of any piece of land, but the Soviet Union was very generous when Khrushchev was in power, and gave four pieces of land the size of Shanghai directly to Ukraine, which was also a friendly witness of the two countries at that time.
This land sent out by the Soviets is Crimea, I believe that people who have paid a little attention to the news should know this place, because a few years ago, Ukraine and Russia broke out in this place a fierce conflict, and finally Russia took a tough shot and unilaterally announced the repossession of Crimea, which made Ukraine suffer a great shame, of course, the Russians are very happy, because this is a symbol of national strength, of course, after this incident, Russia also suffered collective suppression from Western countries. As a result, the economic situation in Russia has been deteriorating and continues to this day.
Crimea is an island in the middle of Ukraine and Russia, in the Black Sea. The area of this place is not small at all, it is the size of four Shanghais, and the population is also quite large, there are more than one million, almost two million people, this place because of its good location, so it has been ruled by many countries in history, but it is very clear that this place certainly does not belong to Russia.
During the Yuan Dynasty in China, the Mongols went to the area of present-day Ukraine and directly incorporated all the ancestors of Russia into their rule, of which Crimea was included, but unfortunately the Mongols disappeared in less than a hundred years, and then the Ottomans invaded and took the place. Later, Tsarist Russia appeared, and also annexed Ukraine, and then in order to obtain access to the sea in the Black Sea, Tsarist Russia and the surrounding powers fought countless times, but the final result was still good, at least to seize Crimea.
After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union immigrated here on a large scale, resulting in a large number of Russians here. However, in 1954, in order to celebrate the three-hundredth anniversary of the merger of Ukraine and Russia, Khrushchev was very generous to give Crimea to Ukraine as a gift, after all, the two countries were part of the Soviet Union at that time, regardless of each other. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, problems also arose.
It was not until the conflict between Ukraine and Russia that the problem here became more serious, and Russia was very remorseful about the loss of this place, and finally took the opportunity to forcibly take it back. Although Russia has paid a small price for this, it is still worth it.
