      Don't get too caught up only in the Soviet Russia history. The history of the Russian empire is one of the most fascinating histories in the world to me ( but I might be biased). FYI Russia was the only heir to the Byzantine Empire after the fall of Constantinople (1453)... It came close to liberating it from the Ottomans in the 1917, as the secret protocol was already issued with Entente that Constantinople (modern day Istanbul) was coming back to Russia... The advancement of the Russian Imperial army was scheduled for April, but the Revolution had happened in February (1917)...

    A little correction, there were no nationalities back then, only "narodnost'" at best which translates to "folks"( or close to it), which back then was only divided by different religions and/or spoken languages... If you were an orthodox Christian (Russian orthodoxy which was inherited from the Byzantine Empire) and spoke Russian, you were Russian. So Bellingshausen was considered to be Russian. As "Nationalities" is a modern day invention which came into Russia with the Octobrists revolution of 1917. Regardless, he was not Estonian, he was of German descent.

    From 1732 to 1867, the Russian Empire laid claim to northern Pacific Coast territories in the Americas. Russian colonial possessions in the Americas are collectively known as Russian America (Russian: Русская Америка, romanized: Russkaya Amerika; 1799 to 1867). It consisted mostly of present-day Alaska in the United States, but also included the outpost of Fort Ross in California, and three forts in Hawaii, including Russian Fort Elizabeth. Russian Creole settlements were concentrated in Alaska, including the capital, New Archangel (Novo-Arkhangelsk), which is now Sitka.

      It's amazing so many that people in NZ seen to have that incorrect opinion of what NZ was like. Mind you there's been a converted effort in recent times to paint that picture.
      Did you know that a European settlement was established in the south island in the 1790s and built the first sailing ship of European design, the "Providence".
      Before 1810 maori chiefs had travelled to Sydney and London, and two entire tribes in the north island had become Christians after their chiefs were converted on their travels overseas.
      It was them who invited Marsden to give his famous 1st sermon in NZ in 1814, but he was preaching to the converted.
      Mission stations and schools were established before 1820. Several chiefs purchased sailing ships and started international trade with their own ships.
      Commander Henry Williams of the royal navy arrived in 1822 to take over the missions. He set up missions and schools in the north island in the 1820s.
      By 1830 there were printing presses producing bibles in Maori, and there was a regular maori language newspaper.
      Trade had increased to the point where one Waikato tribe had a fleet of 40 sailing ships a d was trading with north and south America, Europe, England, Japan & Australia.
      Chiefs were sending their sons to European universities.
      Many chiefs dressed in European clothing and had European houses.
      All that was in the 1820s and early 30s.
      In 1834 maori selected a national flag and presented it to king William the 4th of England who happily recognised it.
      In 1835 a group of representative chiefs, working with Henry Williams and James Busby, developed and issued the NZ declaration of independence which established a federation of the united states of NZ (using the local word tribes to describe the states, but describing those tribes as comprising all those who come to settle in NZ.
      This declaration was sent to many natyti recognise including France, the USA, and England.
      King William again happily recognised this. As he signed it and placed his royal seal on it to confirm he recognised the freedom, independence, and sovereignty of NZ, he stated "That will keep the snakes out"
      The first European explorers to trek overland down the west coast of the south island, Heaphy, Fox and Brunner, wrote in their diaries the following:
      It was not possible to enter a single valley on our journey without finding that every Maori in it was a Christian, had a copy of the scriptures in their own language which they could read, wanted you to baptise them, and had never met a white man before."
      This was the result of maori to maori evangelisation & education after first learning at the mission schools.
      Marsden wrote "no people has ever embraced Christianity in the way that the maori people have".

      ​? No it was exactly like that. The maori culture was in a great dearth of material wealth and had a very limited structure and was isolated in a region with only their own people.
      Seeing the europeans would have been like seeing aliens in every way, phisically, culturally and materially.
      The maori couldnt conceive the origins of even simple things like the leather boots or netal buttons on the saliors coats.
      The maori were cunning and observant and in general not dumb.. They just had a primative isolated culture.. You can see the maori quickly figured out how the game was to be played.
      Polynesians upon european contact were generally observed as being intellegent and curious. The tahitians within 10 years had created a constitutional monarchy based on what english hat told them of their own.
      The dumbness we observe in many maori or polynesians these days is not a historical thing .. Its a product of moden society. Probably social collapes post contact, death disease and breakdown of social cohesion among the peopke due to cultural change.

      @@Taongapuoromaori You'd have to go back to the late stone age in Europe (about 5000 years ago) to find a similar level of technology. What is great about finding pre-metal cultures in the modern era is that it gives a sense of what prehistoric cultures in places like Europe may have been like. We talk about the stone age and artifacts of stone capture modern people's attention but they must have had a whole lost tradition of wood and plant fibres which if you look at traditional Maori culture are the dominant part of the culture rather than the rarer stone items including all the greenstone artworks.

    Quite a history about the Maori - put the Inca's or the Aztecs to shame in degeneration. Outcast from the Cook Islands during the 13th century as weaker primitive Neolithic people by later waves of Polynesians (Maori were from the original wave of primitive Polynesians pushed right out across the Eastern Pacific by successive stronger more advanced groups arriving from the west). They were outcast on rafts and some floated to the North East Coast of NZ driven by the South Equatorial Current and were stranded for 500 years. The weaker were pushed down to the South Island or Chathams etc. So the South Island Maori (had their own language) were the weakest of the weak. They were captured and eaten as 'Slave flesh' by the northern Maori doing raids. (Well they all ate each other - 80% of Maori pre European were dark skinned easily fattened slaves farmed and eaten by a lighter skinned 'Ariki' thin wiry elite royal caste). So it was with some righteousness as well as British cunning that they armed the southern Maori who then with muskets launched a genocidal war on the north.. That plus measles & flu halved the Maori population and removed most of the elite. The British then liberated the slaves and outlawed cannibalism. The northern Maori fought with the British against the south bad west Maori 'rebels'. The Maori sued for peace and a treaty was signed that removed all sovereignty and made them subjects to the English crown where the English would protect them from each other. Land could only be sold to or via the Crown. Maori could live on their reservations with native custom but none did. The treaty of Waitangi is strikingly clear in that the Maori cede sovereignty completely and become citizens of Great Britain - all 3 clauses lock that in. Nothing in today's 'Maori' culture is authentic. The music - all European (Maoris did not have tonal music, the songs are missionary tunes or introduced - Poi dance is from Islands and Stick dance from old Malaya. The carvings and art - all European - Arabesques that was the fashion at the time. Original Maori had limited dash carving and no painting of objects. No written language - all the syntax & grammar plus vowel inflection is European. No technology - some lagoon canoes and wood or stone Neolithic tools. No food sources - like pigs or crops - they left that all behind, all they had was a weak inbred fox (now extinct), some rats and a weak dismal pacific yam. They ate out all the bird-life including 10 species of Moa and 46 other bird species, didn't know how to farm the sea as were island people and so they turned to societal cannibalism. Today - no full blood or half blood left. No genuine tradition and almost all are offspring of Maori slave females sold to white settlers for muskets or food. -So more fake than the 'Sioux' or 'Cherokee' or 'Crow' who had at least retained some genuineness about who they were and their history. -Everything you 'saw or experienced' is fake. A totally convected disneyfied tokenistic set of inventions fueled by a grievance culture of mixed-race imposters fetishing a false past bad history because it pays benefits.
