May I ask Gao Cai: Why is the territory of the United States separated by two blocks?

The United States, originally not Alaska, Alaska is the territory of former Russia.

1859, the Russian tsar worried that his territory would be lost in the future battle with Britain and decided to sell Alaska. At that time, Britain was not interested, the United States was fighting a civil war, and no one paid attention. After the American Civil War, the tsar sent envoys to the United States to express his willingness to sell Alaska again. In this way, Americans bought Alaska for $7.2 million, with an average of less than two cents per acre.

This purchase was ridiculed as a foolish move by the American ruling and opposition parties, and Alaska was even called the paradise of polar bears and the Russian ice box.

Today, no one will laugh at the fact that more than 7 million dollars is not worth it. Oil reserves, forest coverage, natural gas resources, etc. They brought wealth to America, not just millions.
