From the Island Owner to the King

Chen Rui left the United States and entered Canada through the US-Canada border.

When it comes to the US-Canada border, there are a lot of weird things.

For example, the hotel that Chen Rui rented is divided into two parts, one is on the territory of the United States and the other is on the territory of Canada. The hotel has two addresses in the United States and Canada at the same time. If a tourist happens to live in a guest room on the border, they can smuggle to the United States as soon as they lift their feet. When they sleep, their head is in Canada and their feet are in the United States. The furnishings in the room cannot be moved casually, because Canada is placed in Canada. The furniture in the territory must be purchased from Canada, and if it is placed in the United States, it must be purchased from the United States, otherwise, import tax will be paid. Isn't it interesting?

Chen Rui crossed the coastline of not=pig=pig=island=fiction www.zhuzhBritish Columbia, Yukon, and entered the United States again, Alagas.

When it comes to Alaska, the Russians may have snot and tears, and the pain that will never be wiped away.

When it comes to the history of Alaska, as early as the 18th century, the Russians went to Siberia and crossed the Bering Strait into this land.

In 1854, the Crimean War broke out. After the fall of the serf system, the decaying Tsarist Russia was defeated by the British and French coalition forces equipped by the Industrial Revolution, and the land was ceded to seek peace. Alaska was right next to the British colony of Canada. At that time, Alexander II had a big brain. When I think about it, if there is going to be a war, I am afraid that Alaska will not be able to hold it. In addition, in the eyes of the Russians, this is just a lonely and lonely place with only Eskimos. nothing. What's the use of keeping it?

So the tsar started looking for buyers everywhere. As a result, there has been no progress in hanging flea nets for several years.

However. What should come will come, and soon, one of the biggest and funniest deals in history was born.

In 1861, during the American Civil War, the Western European powers took the opportunity to dismember the United States. President Lincoln believed that the United States alone could not support it, so he sought help from the enemy of the Western European powers, Tsar Russia, who also wanted to avenge the Crimean War. So the refugees sent a fleet into New York Harbor, making other powers hesitate and buying time for the Union Army to win the war.

Although Russia made a last-ditch effort in the war, it cost a huge amount of money just to make the fleet turn halfway around the world. The then US Secretary of State, William Henry Seward, "generously" The Russians say that we have just finished the war, and we have nothing left to do. But your country travels thousands of miles to help us, this is the sentiment. It's like... like this, I can't let you guys come in vain. Aren't you going to sell Alaska? Brother, you are so kind to us, we must not treat you badly. Isn't it second-hand? Don't mind us, don't sell it cheap, we can give as much as we can.

at last,

Seward offered a price that satisfied the Tsar: $7.2 million, and it was sold! !

When it comes to area, this item is a real value-for-money king: By division, Alaska sells to the U.S. for 2 cents an acre.

And then, what do Americans get out of this land.

Gold mines, abundant oil, abundant fishery resources, and transit stations for air routes between the Pacific Oceans have saved countless planes of fuel. After World War II, Uncle Sam in Alaska used missiles to directly face the former owner of this land— - Soviet Russia.
