What country borders alaska?
Canada shares a border with Alaska. In some ways it could be said that Russia also borders Alaska. There are two small islands in the Bering Straight between Alaska and Russia that are only about a mile apart. The name of these islands is Big Diomede and Little Diomede Islands. One of the islands is part of Alaska and belongs to the U.S., the other is part of Siberia and belongs to Russia. At times there is ice connecting the islands and it is possible to walk from one island to the other, thus crossing a border shared and between the U.S. and Russia.
Could one travel from Alaska to Russia?
Yes, by air or sea.
What could have caused the land bridge between Alaska and Asia to form?
I donkey know
Where in Alaska was it owned by Russia?
Yes, Alaska was previously owned by Russia. It was (officially) purchased in 1867 by the US via William Seward. The purchase of Alaska for 7.2 million dollars was viewed as Seward's Folly because no one saw any financial reason for the purchase. One could argue that this label was lifted when both gold and large quantities of oil were discovered in the state.
Can you walk to Alaska from Russia?
Actually you can. For most of the year it is true you can't walk to Russia from Alaska, but in winter there is a short period that there is a part of the Bering Strait is frozen over and you could walk across. The only problem is as soon as you step foot on Russian or US land you will be arrested.
The Great Ice Age accounted for the origins of North America's human history because?
In a short and sweet form. The Great Ice Age accounted for the large covering of north America with ice. This ice would create a so called "ice bridge" connecting Russia (Serbia) with Alaska. Many of the peoples would migrate across this bridge and flow down south into the Americas. Now, not all of the people crossed this bridge, those with the technology crossed the Pacific Ocean by boat. This could explain why the Native Americans might have some resemblance to the Asian ethnicity. I would like to thank Mr. Suitt for this answer.
Why did so many people migrate during the ice age?
The ice age caused the area between Russia and Alaska to freeze into ice that people could walk on but the Asian hunters also followed the bison to the Americas for food
Why did the Russians ask for so much money for Alaska?
It really wasn't that much even for 1867. They knew that the US didn't really want Alaska as much as they wanted Russia out of North America so they made the best deal that they could.
Why is Alaska not attached to US?
The lower 48 states were settled in a continual westward expansion so that all of the states are connected. Alaska however was not settled by us but by the Russians and later purchased by the U.S. At the time Alaska was purchased Canada was already settled and established therefore the U.S. could not expand and settle the land between the lower 48 states and Alaska connecting the two. The only way they could be connected is if the U.S. owned what is now British Columbia, Canada.
Why did Canada not purchase Alaska?
Alaska was purchased by the US from Russia on March 30, 1867. In March of 1867, what we now know as Canada consisted of a few scattered British colonies. Canadian Confederation did not occur until July 1, 1867. Canada could not have purchased Alaska because, at the time of the Alaska purchase, Canada did not have the sovereign authority to enter into such an arrangement.
