3. Why would russia want control of the bosporus strait?
4.how is the suez canal different from the straits in this area of the world?

AND YES I DID GOOGLE THEM BUT CANT FIND ANYTHING!!! Thank you so much
Why don't you try to look up the textbook online for that just go on google and type in what your textbook name is and try it! And TELL ME IF IT WORKS OR NOT!!!
You should get a clear picture of each of these straits by adding map to your search term.
For instance, here are maps for the Bosporous Strait and the Strait of Gibraltar.

http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/gibrltar.gif
It's clear from these maps that the Bosporous is narrower and therefore easier to block.
1. I think it would be easier in Bosphorus first because Turkey is on both sides of the strait. Second because so many countries use Gibralter to get in and out of the Med.
2. Look at map, Iran, Iraq etc
3. Because Russia is on the Black Sea which is the other side of the strait from the Med. The Russian Black Sea fleet can not leave the Black Sea for open Ocean any other way. LOOK at MAPS
4. Suez canal is man made.
5. Israel is very close to the Med end of the canal and all shipments to and from the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf go through there.
6. Heavens, look at that map again. All oil from Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, goes through there.
7. Europe on one side, Asia on the other. Greeks one one side, Persians on other. Turks on one side, Greeks on the other etc etc etc
6.
Hannah i tryed that before and it didn't work. Thank u damon!!!
What does question 7s answer mean???
Happenings at the Dardanelles boundary between Europe and Asia
The Persians invaded Greece (Cyrus, Darius)
The Greeks (Macedonians, Alexander) invaded Persia
The Turks attacked the Byzantine Empire at Constantinoble. That became the boundary between Orthodox Christian and Islam until finally the Turks took Constantinoble (Istanbul)
Through the Dardanelles:
Russian, Greek, Turkish fleets tried forever to control the narrows as we discussed earlier.
Leslie -- Damon gave you a very complete answer. Don't you understand it?
Just FYI (even though this thread is years old), the city name was "Constantinople," so named eponymously after Constantine the Great.
No problem! I can help you answer those questions. Here's how you can find the answers yourself in the future:
1. To determine whether shipping would be easier to block in the Gibraltar or Bosphorus Strait, you can start by researching the geographical characteristics of both straits. Look for information on their width, depth, currents, and any natural or artificial barriers that could affect shipping. Then, consider factors such as geopolitical tensions and military presence in the area to assess potential blockage risks.
2. Finding the countries that rely on the Strait of Hormuz to ship their oil can be done by researching oil production and export data. Start by searching for a list of major oil-producing countries, and then cross-reference that with information on their main export routes or shipping lanes for oil. The countries that rely on the Strait of Hormuz for oil shipments will likely be mentioned in this research.
3. To understand why Russia would want control of the Bosphorus Strait, delve into the history, politics, and economics of the region. Research Russia's relationship with the Black Sea and its access to warmer waters through the Bosphorus Strait. Look for any strategic or economic advantages that Russia would gain by controlling or influencing this crucial maritime route.
4. Comparing the Suez Canal to the straits in the area would require researching the characteristics and functions of both. Look for information on the Suez Canal's location, size, and purpose. Then, compare these factors to the characteristics and functions of the straits in the same area, such as the Strait of Hormuz, Bosphorus Strait, or Strait of Malacca. Pay attention to differences in geography, international regulations, and the volume and types of traffic passing through these waterways.
5. To understand why the Suez Canal is important to Israel, you can explore the economic and logistics aspects. Research Israel's trade patterns, including its dependence on imports and exports of goods. Look for evidence of how the Suez Canal facilitates Israel's international trade by providing a shorter and more efficient route for maritime transportation.
6. Investigating how the Strait of Hormuz was important to the countries involved in the Persian Gulf War would require studying the geopolitical context of the war. Research the reasons for the war, the parties involved, and the key objectives of each side. Look for any references to how control or disruption of the Strait of Hormuz affected military strategies, access to resources, or the overall outcome of the conflict.
7. To understand why the Dardanelles Strait has been important throughout history, it would be helpful to explore its historical significance and geopolitical implications. Research major events and conflicts in the region, such as ancient civilizations, Byzantine Empire, Ottoman Empire, and World War I. Look for instances where control or navigation of the Dardanelles played a role in shaping political or military outcomes.
Remember, these are just suggested research methods to help you find information. It's always important to verify the credibility of your sources and to critically analyze the information you find. Good luck with your research!
