and also they want to be their own independent country and not part of Russia anymore which is why
they went to two wars with Russia but now they are still part of Russia and not their own independent
country

brief time.

He killed many of the Chechens and sent many to camps and were killed in different ways because
during this time the Chechens sided with Hitler and the Nazis because they believed that they were going
to win WW2. The Nazis did not win the war and for that Russia saw that the Chechens be traded them
and the Chechens definitely got the message to never do that again.

The war went from December 1994 to August 1996 this was a war that the Russians werent as prepared
as they probably should have been. It ended when Boris Yeltsin told his men to cease fire and signed a
peace treaty this was a war that the Chechens wanted to fight and to fight for their independence. There
was a lot of damage done to Chechen people with over 500,000 people had to flee away from their
homes.
7. When was the second Chechen War? [Who started it? When? Why? Results?]
The second Chechen War was a much shorter war and it was a war that the Russians were able to be
really prepared for and was ready to fight. It was started by the Russian Federation and it was one that
also left a lot of damage to Chechnya. It started in August of 1999 and was ended in the year 2000. It
was a war that settled these two and Chechnya was forced to stay with Russia and wasnt allowed the
independence they wanted.

Revolution
9. According to the American ambassador to Russia, what terrorist group is assisting the Chechen rebels?
How/why might Americans who were once sympathetic to the Chechen cause for independence from the
Russian Federation have changed?
This might be because of the wars they have fought and how many war crimes they did commit against
the Russian Federation

10. Do you believe the Russians should grant Chechnya their independence? Why or why not? [Answer
this question in paragraph format (minimum of six sentences).]
Some parts of me want to believe that the Chechens deserve their independence but other parts of me
thinks differently. This is because they did start two wars with Russia that the Russians didnt really need
to fight. They obviously had to fight for their independence but they committed a lot of war crimes
against Russia and then ended back with Russia anyway. But they do deserve their independence
because they had many civilians that were killed after the Chechens sided with Hitler and the NAzis.
They were put into camps and many died most ended up starving to death. In my opinion they have
many ways they should have their independence but a lot of ways why they shouldnt have their
independence.
