Why do greater numbers of people settle in the western part of Russia as opposed to the eastern part? How do the fertile plains, or chernozem, play a role in this as well?

Because the climate of Western part of the country is much more favorable in comparison to the Eastern part. Most of the Eastern part, called Siberia is practically unsettled, because the climate is unfavorable. The average temperature is below zero, and it is practically impossible to crop anything. On the other part, the more you go to west, the climate is more favorable, and also a fertile land where you can crop different vegetables is available.

Explanation:

The chernozem is characteristic not only for Western Russia, but also in the Continental Europe. For example large part of Pannonia is covered with chernozem. That is why this is the part of Russia where agriculture is boosted.

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
