What was Russia Looking for in Alaska?

First 😁😂

Second

Third

Oh, goodness. The part of the world that I am obsessed with. My sister is sick and tired of me mentioning the state of Alaska. I have to visit it really, really soon.

Fifth.

Two Years Before the Mast mentions a Russian ship, claiming that the sailors were so coated with grease that they were waterproof. A wonderful book.

Fourth 4

Alaska should be Canadian land

The purchase of Manhattan Island

Why Did Russia Colonize Alaska? Before watching Wild guess because it was freezing cold and populated by wolves and angry bears. Natural thing to do. Just seemed too much like home.

Why make a "Video" when all you have is a voice over? Other than pictures of a few Russians almost every image you are showing in the first five minutes has nothing to do with what the narrator is talking about. I could not bring myself to watch any more than that!

Greenland is next.

Why NOT?!
🤣🤣

Oh the battle of sitka! Yet another pre- Custer masculinity type.

I recently watched a video about the Russian Civil War...& now im HOOKED!

Hearing about Alaska's rich oil reserves makes the fact that the Biden Administrations insane ANTI FOSSIL FUELS policies took the United States from being ENERGY INDEPENDENT .to BEGGING our enemies Saudi Arabia & Venezuela for oil instead..& SHUTTING DOWN United States pipelines like the Keystone .. while APPROVING then in Europe!
As far as Alaska..they claimed that they had APPROVED drilling there . but at the SAME time..Congress was THREATENING to regulate banks that DARED lend money to the Fossil Fuel industry out of EXISTENCE !!

King Kamehameha (Kameha-meha)

I read a book on this story from the perspective of the people at the time. It spanned the whole timeline with stories amazing. So cool to see this video after 😊

There's kind of a shortage of wood in the Aleutians; there being no trees, that of thing...

Why has anybody colonized anything

Wow
