Alaska: Great Deal on 'The Great Land'

It was discovered in 1741 and used to be a part of Russia. In 1867, after lengthy negotiations, Alaska was sold to the United States for the price of $7.2 million. It was called a "box of ice", a "polar bear garden" and Walrussia. But in the language of its indigenous peoples, the word Alaska means The Great Land.

You all people why Russian Sold Alaska to American ? Well here it is, in that time they have difficult financial position especially after they have lose in Crimean War especially the British which they fear about in the other-side before is Canada are about to attack and will easily defeated once again. So They have no choice have to sell their Territory, otherwise will be another conflict again. So they sell to U.S since they have little choice but they deal with it, without regret it.
