Germany has never possessed Alaska. The area that became Alaska was purchased from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2 million dollars (that are 2 cents per acre) after Congress concluded its resources could be vitally important to the nation's future growth. The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized territory on May 11, 1912 and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959. The largest self-reported ancestry groups in the state are German (16.6%).
