can anyone help me with this? i'm not exactly sure the answer, but i tried my best to learn it. 3. Peter the great and Catherine the great fought wars to expand Russian territory and gain access to

A. Fertile lands***
B. Mineral rights
C. Bodies of water
D. Muslim lands
im just not sure and not confident, so if someone could help me check, that would be great!

Good! Yes, C is the answer.

I disagree. What does your text say?

it say that She gained territory in Eastern Europe. She gained access to the Black Sea. She also expanded Russia’s control over land that is now in Alaska. I'm not completely sure if that and the question are related. maybe is the answer C?

Of course! I'd be happy to help you with this question.

To find the answer, we can start by eliminating the options that are not relevant to Peter the Great and Catherine the Great's goals. The options B, C, and D (Mineral rights, Bodies of water, and Muslim lands) do not align with the historical context of their reigns.

Now, let's focus on option A, fertile lands. During the time of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, Russia was primarily an agrarian society, heavily dependent on agriculture for its economy. Expanding their territory to include fertile lands would have provided Russia with additional resources, such as arable land, which was crucial for increasing agricultural production. This would have helped in the growth and development of the Russian Empire.

So, based on this analysis, it is likely that the correct answer is A. Fertile lands.

Remember, it's always good to make an educated guess and apply logical reasoning when you're not completely certain of the answer.
