The Alaska Purchase 1867 is one of the most important events in American history. Why did Tsar Alexander II of Russia want to sell 'Russian-America' as Alaska was known then to the United States? Was it a strategic move to capitalize on its vast natural resources and expand their global influence? Or was it simply a financial decision to free up resources and focus on other areas of growth?
The transfer of Alaska sparked intense debate and speculation, leaving many questions unanswered about the motives behind this pivotal moment in history.
