Best Answer

Siberia was easily acquired by the Russian czars because the native Siberians were small tribes scattered over the vast land. They lacked the organization and the weapons to resist. Siberia was taken by small bands of Cossacks employed by merchants or czars. The Cossacks established fortresses along the routes of their conquest. These served as outposts of governmental authority and trading posts for furs brought in by native people. The cultures of the native Siberians remained relatively undisturbed, except for the inevitable changes brought about by cultural diffusion, until the communists came into power.
