Siberia es inmensa y, a pesar de las largas distancias, Rusia la conquistó a lo largo de los siglos XVI y XVII. Pero, dado que en su mayor parte estaba vacía y ponía a Rusia en contacto con potenciales enemigos, ¿por qué la conquistó Moscú? Para averiguarlo, vea este breve y sencillo documental de historia animada.
#3 In the aftermath of the Crimean War, Russian Tsar Alexander II began exploring the possibility of selling Alaska, which would be difficult to defend in any future war from being conquered by Russia's archrival, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Following the end of the American Civil War, U.S. Secretary of State William Seward entered into negotiations with Russian minister Eduard de Stoeckl for the purchase of Alaska. Seward and Stoeckl agreed to a treaty on March 30, 1867, and the treaty was ratified by the United States Senate by a wide margin.The purchase added 586,412 sq mi (1,518,800 km2) of new territory to the United States for the cost of $7.2 million 1867 dollars. In modern terms, the cost was equivalent to $140 million in 2021 dollars or $0.39 per acre.Reactions to the purchase in the United States were mostly positive, as many believed possession of Alaska would serve as a base to expand American trade in Asia. Some opponents labeled the purchase as "Seward's Folly", or "Seward's Icebox", as they contended that the United States had acquired useless land.
Porque ya desde el siglo IX estaban desnazificando los más remotos confines asiáticos. Ya lo dice un antiguo refrán ruso: "País desnazificado, bolsillo engordado".
