The Governorate of Russian north America was occupied by the United Kingdom during the great war. When the February revolt brought Russia out of the war the United Kingdom symbolically returned to Columbia and returned the governorate to the new republic. However, when the October revolution...

If Alaska remains Russian well into the 20th century, how would its demographics be affected by the Gold Rush and oil boom? Would the American or Canadian influx of miners and prospectors overrun any Russian/Ukrainian/Central Asian etc. settlement? What about the indigenous population?

Okay so your challenge is simple: increase the Russian population of Alaska while still having it become an American territory and eventually an American state You are allowed to have it become a territory or state under different circumstances Bonus points if the Russian American population...

Could Russia, with a POD after 1600, get a bigger slice of western North America than it did IOTL - one that stretches from, say, Alaska to northern California? I realize the difficulties with this WI are considerable, given the country's vast territory and the fact Siberia is already much...

Greetings, this is Karl the Writer, coming in from the bowels of the internet to writer a little something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I will be exploring the possibilities of a Russian Alaska, and what could potentially occur. I was inspired by AlternatehistoryHubs video on this...

Hey, all. So as we all know, Alaska was sold to the US by the Russian Empire. It was not viewed as an especially valuable territory, but it was of some strategic importance, and so the Tsar Alexander II sold it to the US in order to make some money after the Crimean War while also denying its...

Let's face it- OTL has been a bit of a US wank since the louisiana purchase. The continental US has everything the european powers scrambled Africa to get, and a cleaner way to china. The mississippi basin alone probably would've made us a world power off sheer agriculture, but still we trecked...

Part 1 - The Alaskan Gold Rush of 1867 For most of the 19th century, the Russian Empire had been in decline. An old-fashioned, conservative absolutist monarchy with a vast colonial empire spanning both Europe and Asia, it suffered from political instability, a harsh, repressive government, and...

Based off my post about American expansion after the civil war, https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/what-happens-to-american-expansion-after-a-csa-victory.453225/page-6#post-18049606. In a alternate scenerio, where the Confederate States of America gains independence, what happens to...

Alaska and its environs have had three significant gold rushes, the Klondike Gold Rush near Dawson City that happened from 1896 to 1899 in what is today the Yukon Territory about 100km from the Alaska border, the Nome Gold Rush from 1899 to 1909 on the western Alaskan coast, and the Fairbanks...

From what I have heard, one of the main reasons that the Russians sold Alaska to the Americans was that they could not defend it from the British, who they had poor relations with. If the USA annexes Canada earlier somehow, would they sell it? America would have plenty of frozen land to settle...

With a POD as early as you like, but preferably post 1836, make Hawaii a Russian territory much like Alaska. You may include other Pacific islands as well. Given the well-known shortcomings of Russia in the Pacific IOTL, you may have these territories sold or lost in a war later on.

The countries that almost were - ALYASKA Ante scriptum : I hope I've not mispelled the name in cyrillic on the picture. So, why "the countries that almost were" ? This TL is part of a project on a series of focuses on countries that could never existed but could have. Alaska is the...
