Most Americans don’t know why Alaska has this strange panhandle. What made this land so special that Canada couldn’t keep it? It all started in the 18th century when Russian explorers settled along the coastline, claiming the land for the Russian Empire. Soon, the British arrived, establishing fur trading posts and expanding their influence.Frequent clashes between the two powers led to an 1825 treaty that set the southern border roughly where it is today, though no firm boundary was established, leaving room for future disputes. Nearly half a century later, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia in a deal ridiculed as “Seward’s Folly,” as many saw the acquisition as a barren wasteland.
But that perception changed dramatically with the Klondike Gold Rush, which brought the panhandle dispute to the forefront as Canada sought a direct route to the Pacific Coast.The disagreement was then handed to an international tribunal, where British representatives eventually sided with the United States, infuriating Canada.Despite their dissatisfaction, Canada had to accept it, leaving the panhandle to become part of the U.S.

I grew up in SE Alaska. This history was taught to us in middle school. Glad it is being shared now.

Tbh Canada can't really take it forcefully even if they wanted.

Seward's folly indeed. That may well be one of the best deals in history.

Because right in the other side of the panhandle is the Yukon.. and pretty much no one lives there and has really explored it. So after the panhandle and the mountains that separate it no one will try and fight you for the land

Alaska is a key destination when doing trade with the east. A lot of parcels also goes there.

if the tribunal sided with Canada,
the US would say they recognise no such tribunal under US constitution and legislation. Then they would take it by force.

The Klondike Gold Rush took place in the Yukon Territories of Canada, not Alaska.

Someone told me from the future that Canada is going to be taken over by America. Then she vanished.

The fact that Alaska is that freaking huge is absurd.

I read on school long ago that the reason was that Britian was at war at the time and eas trading with the US for weapons, and feared giving US less land would cause them to stop.

Before gold:
Russia: well we don't gotta deal with that anymore
US: fck we just wasted our money why did we do that

After gold:
US: hey actually we got a pretty good deal
Russia: damn guess we shouldn't have sold that

We've also been trying to buy the rest of the costline that way we have a connected border with Alaska.

Something about Canada is i realize they handle things very mature, humanly and near neutral. i respect that and I feel like a lot of places would throw a fit like children and kick and scream but not canada and i think it's superior. Obviously, politicians are another thing but ye.
