Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Conquest of a Continent, the historian W. Bruce Lincoln details Siberia's role in Russian history, one remarkably similar to that of the frontier in the development of the United States.... It is a big, panoramic book, in keeping with the immensity of its subject."--Chicago Tribune"Lincoln is a compelling writer whose chapters are colorful snapshots of Siberia's past and present.... The Conquest of a Continent is a vivid narrative that will inform and entertain the broader reading public."--American Historical Review"This story includes Genghis Khan, who sent the Mongols warring into Russia; Ivan the Terrible, who conquered Siberia for Russia; Peter the Great, who supported scientific expeditions and mining enterprises; and Mikhail Gorbachev, whose glasnost policy prompted a new sense of 'Siberian' nationalism. It is also the story of millions of souls who themselves were conquered by Siberia.... Vast riches and great misery, often intertwined, mark this region."--The Wall Street JournalStretching from the Urals to the Arctic Ocean to China, Siberia is so vast that the continental United States and Western Europe could be fitted into its borders, with land to spare. Yet, in only six decades, Russian trappers, cossacks, and adventurers crossed this huge territory, beginning in the 1580s a process of conquest that continues to this day. As rich in resources as it was large in size, Siberia brought the Russians a sixth of the world's gold and silver, a fifth of its platinum, a third of its iron, and a quarter of its timber. The conquest of Siberia allowed Russia to build the modern world's largest empire, and Siberia's vast natural wealth continues to play a vital part in determining Russia's place in international affairs.Bleak yet romantic, Siberia's history comes to life in W. Bruce Lincoln's epic telling. The Conquest of a Continent, first published in 1993, stands as the most comprehensive and vivid account of the Russians in Siberia, from their first victories over the Mongol Khans to the environmental degradation of the twentieth century. Dynasties of incomparable wealth, such as the Stroganovs, figure into the story, as do explorers, natives, gold seekers, and the thousands of men and women sentenced to penal servitude or forced labor in Russia's great wilderness prisonhouse.

Download or read book Siberia written by Srikala Balakrishnan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How was Russia built? How did she become so enormous? The answer would be the acquisition of Siberia led to the expansion of territory for Russia. How was Siberia conquered? In what stages did the expansion across Asia take place? Did the Russians encounter opposition from China? This books addresses these questions which rise in the mind on seeing a map of the world. The stages by which Russia shook of the Mongol yoke and proceeded to expand her domains are traced. How in the first stage she unified and then conquered the Muslim khanates of Kazan and Sibir, and then proceeded to expand across Asia are examined. The pull of the fur trade drew trappers and with them Russian dominion right across Asia. How a conflict with China led to Russian exploration in the northeast and the eventual discovery of Alaska is also dealt with. The names of unknown Russian adventurers and explorers emerge whose conquests and discoveries led to vast new territories being opened out. We all know how the west was won but few know how the east was won. The conquistadors of the east were no better than those of the west. If America was populated by Red Indians who were the native inhabitants of Siberia? The book addresses these questions too. The Great Northern Expedition an enterprise in scientific research and cartography undertaken by the government of Tsarist Russia in the eighteenth century is also traced. So too are the voyages of Vitus Bering leading to the discovery of Russian America.
