There are big populations of different ethnicities. The main two are Russian and Ukrainian. The waterways, including the black Sea, and access to it have been a problem. This is a problem because with Ukraine's control of the peninsula and its waterways, the Russians don't have access to it. Russia also have problems with trade routes and travel with other countries. ]]> 2018-04-09 18:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/21marktay/zy8r12cigvf1/wish/249974810 21marktay https://padlet.com/21marktay/zy8r12cigvf1/wish/249976039 They will most likely not succeed in becoming a nation-state because there are a lot of historical ethnicities. The Crimean Peninsula is made up of Russians, Ukrainians(at the highest percentages), Tatars being muslim, Belarusians, Armenians, and others. Russians and Ukrainians are the most populous ethnicities in the Crimean Peninsula. In order for it to become a nation-state it would need to consist of only one ethnicity. Since there are such high percentages of each ethnicity, this is very unlikely to happen. ]]> 2018-04-09 18:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/21marktay/zy8r12cigvf1/wish/249976039 21marktay https://padlet.com/21marktay/zy8r12cigvf1/wish/249980329 Who has control over the Crimean Peninsula has gone back and forth between Russia and Ukraine. Currently Ukraine has control over the peninsula but Russia wants to take control back. History of the peninsula has dated back to 1783 when crimea was under control of Russia after they defeated the Ottoman Empire. 1954 the soviet government transferred crimean peninsula to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.]]> 2018-04-09 18:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/21marktay/zy8r12cigvf1/wish/249980329 21marktay https://padlet.com/21marktay/zy8r12cigvf1/wish/249981834 https://www.britannica.com/place/Crimea
