History
Some can argue that the war has been going on since world war 2, when Stalin wanted the farm land in Ukraine and he had found many ways of obtaining their land such as; starving the Ukrainian people of food till they died or gave up their land or they just killed the villagers, since then there have been many disputes between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has always felt that they had a certain cultural connection with Ukraine because when the Russian empire rose as a great empire its capital was in present day Ukraine. So it is understandable that some of the Ukrainian people are mad at the Russians.
But the more recent conflict which is still going on started because the east side of Ukraine (which is the Russian speaking side, many of whom had voted for Yanukovych) think that Ukraine should not join the European Union and protested Yanukovych removal. So then Russian leaders decided that they should intervene for the sake of Russian speaking Ukrainians, too the west side of Ukraine it seems like the Russian leaders are ignoring the valid reasons that Yanukovych was removed for. Some believe that Russian president Vladimir Putin is using this conflict as a distraction from Russia sinking economy.
Emergence
THIS CONFLICT ROSE INTO EMERGENCE WHEN RUSSIA ANNEXED CRIMEA. PEOPLE OF RUSSIA AND UKRAINE STARTED TO HATE EACH OTHER.

    The Ukrainian people were also very dissatisfied with the direction of post-Soviet Ukraine. The people wanted a more western style democracy and President Kuchma ruled with a style closer to the old Soviet Union. ("Soomo," 2013) In 2000 President Kuchma was also suspected of having, Georgi Gongadse, a journalist who worked to expose corruption executed. A small protest began at this time called “Ukraine without Kuchma”. Then Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was removed from her post by Kuchma who did not agree with her proposed energy sector reforms. This sparked further opposition in forming the “National Salvation Forum” with Tymoshenko becoming an opposition leader. (Fritz, 2007) Protest now gathered up to 10,000 in opposition. Prime Minister Victor Yushchenko was pushed out of office for in his words not paying for political votes. (Fritz, 2007) More corruption took place heading up to the 2004 presidential elections. The elections pitted Victor Yushchenko, leader of the opposition, against Victor Yanukovych who was backed by Kuchma. After a fraudulent election declaring Yanukovych the winner when all exit polling showed Yushchenko winning.

The Cold War was a long period of tension between the democratic of the western world and the communist countries of Eastern Europe. The United States and Russia were also in a space race to see who can get to space first. The United States and Russia were always fighting for supremacy, like the arms race to see who has the best and most nuclear power. The United States and Russia have been rivals since the 1917.…

    In August 2008, Russia and Georgia went to a brief war over the control of South Ossetia. It was Russia’s first war against another state since the collapse of the Soviet regime. Russia and Georgia have a history of conflict. During the breakup of the Soviet Union, the question of control over the region of South Ossetia was never resolved to all parties’ satisfaction. The South Ossetians were part of a different ethnic group than the Georgians, so they did not want to be part of the same country. This led to a similar war in 1991, which resulted in an uneasy peace in the region. From this peace treaty, South Ossetia and Abkhazia each became semiautonomous republics that still remained…

    The United States were fearful of going into nuclear combat, so to prevent that the idea of having a nuclear defense was thought of. Ronald Reagan came up with an idea of creating the Strategic Defense Initiative Program. He got the government on board and received money to attempt to build his creation. The program was never built, but it led to the fall of the U.S.S.R. and helped inventors advance in technology for everyday use. Russia and the United States had conflicts with each other for a very long time and the conflicts are still happening. The tensions are probably at its highest between the two, since the cold war. Russia and America dislike each other a lot and they are always competing with one another to see who is best. The Russian-American relationship has always been conflicted and still…

    The USA and USSR both have very different ideologies. The USA believed in a capitalist economy and a democratic system of government. This meant that the citizens of America could vote in their President and Congress in free elections. But, in the USSR they believed in communism. This meant that people could vote in elections, but could only vote for members of the communist party. Before they even started working together, there was already something that they disagreed on. Both countries were considered as superpowers after the war, but their citizens’ wealth was also different. The USA was the wealthiest country in the world at that point, but the distribution of that wealth wasn’t equal, and the contrasts between rich and poor were great. The USSR believed in equality throughout the country, and the rights of individuals were seen as less important. But in the real world, the wealth wasn’t as equally spread as they said it would be. This created tension as both countries had very different ways of running things.…

    For more than two centuries, Russia and the United States have shared a diplomatic relationship. Whether that involved trading or the military. Foreign relations between the former Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex set of ideologies, political agendas, and economic factors, which led to the superpower rivalry that has been on display over the past two-hundred years. Presidents from both nations have been involved, from President Ronald Reagan to most recently, President Barack Obama. For Russia, the most well-known leader was Vladimir Putin, the “geopolitical wrecking ball.”…

    Michael Kammen’s modern portrait of the Framers made the most sense. They wanted to maintain their rights, liberty, and self-government. Kammen's interpretation of the constitution makes the most sense because we can look at the Bill of Rights, the Articles of Confederation, Federalist No.51, the Virginia Plan, the Declaration of Independence, and even Montesquieu’s view of the government.…

    It is always on January 6th after the New Year celebrating. For the average Ukrainian, I believe, this day has unique features, such as special songs and visits friends and relatives in the morning time. Usually children are more excited and involved in these actions because of the rewards they got after singing and saying ritual sentences. Similarly, all the members of the family are gathering together and some food the same; however, you will not find the turkey on the table and chiefly all the others dishes are related to traditional food which is different in Ukraine compare to Canadian food. After praying we are enjoying food and time together.…

    ISIS Current Events

    One conflict is ISIS. On the authority of ISIS, they declared that they were the reason of this event. Still today ISIS and Syria have big problems. ISIS and other terrorist groups take the Quran out of context and treat people brutally in the Shia based countries. Russia is trying to support Syria and so are the countries surrounding the Middle East, trying to get rid of ISIS. Another misunderstanding regarding the plane crash is whether it was either caused by a terrorist group like ISIS, or if the whole episode was just a plane malfunction. If in fact ISIS was the cause of the crash, then Russia and ISIS would have huge problems. No country or group can fight Russia because they’re military is too strong. There is not complete evidence of a plane mishap. What people do know is that there was a fire on the…

    Causes of the Crimean War

    The war was brought upon by the balance of power in Europe. The fate of the Ottoman Empire began to be referred to by the name of “The Eastern Question”. After the Ottoman Empire began to grow weak following its defeat by Russia, Europe would see Russia looking for more places to expand around the Mediterranean. Because of Russia’s previous hold on the Holy Lands of Europe, the loss of this power upset her. The Ottoman Empire was forced to give France rights to the Holy Lands as France began to use force against the Ottomans. The Crimean war was fought for the sake of Europe rather than for the Eastern Question; it was fought against Russia, not in favour of Turkey.”– A. J. P. Taylor. The loss of Russia’s rights of protection to the Holy Lands in Palestine evoked great tensions between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. Eventually this led to a proposition towards the Ottomans to give up the rights to the Holy Lands to Russia to ensure Christian safety. The Ottomans disagreed and war was declared between the two. “Mutual fear, not mutual aggression, caused the Crimean war.” – A. J. P. Taylor…
