Russia's vast territory was acquired through a combination of military conquests, treaties, and colonization over centuries. The expansion began in the late Middle Ages, with the rise of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which gradually annexed surrounding regions. The Russian Empire further expanded during the 18th and 19th centuries through wars, such as the Great Northern War and the Russo-Turkish Wars, as well as exploration and settlement in Siberia and the Far East. Additionally, various treaties with neighboring countries allowed Russia to gain significant land, solidifying its status as one of the largest countries in the world.
