Blog 2

Blog #2

In this section, I read about the sugar and how it affected the world.
I also read about the making of the Russian empire.
The Russians had a lot of fear of the Mongols so they wanted their own land. They had a lot of fur because they had “fur” bearing animals.
Fur trade motivated them to grow their empire.

They conquered people. They made the people that they conquered pay taxes. They also pressured them to convert to Christianity. The native people lost their land and theur “way of life” when they became conquered.
