Here is information about Alaska's statehood and Russia's Occupation.
In 1725 a Russian exploration team was sent by "Peter the Great" to explore the Alaska Coastlines. Russia did not have the resources to man a military post or any type of settlement at that time. So in 1859 Russia first offered to sell Alaska to the U.S. However, the U.S. civil war prevented the U.S. from taking action on this offer until 1867. Alaska became a "district" of the U.S. in 1867. Then it became and "organized" territory in 1912. Finally it became a state in January of 1959. The purchases price was $7.2 Million dollars!Joel
