what year did russia sell alaska to the united states?
1857
by the middle of the 19th century, profits from russia's american colonies were in steep decline. competition with the british hudson's bay company had brought the sea otter to near extinction, while the population of bears, wolves, and foxes on land was also nearing depletion. faced with the reality of periodic native american revolts, the political ramifications of the crimean war, and unable to fully colonize the americas to their satisfaction, the russians concluded that their american colonies were too expensive to retain. eager to release themselves of the burden, the russians sold fort ross in 1842, and in 1867, after less than a month of negotiations, the united states accepted emperor alexander ii's offer to sell alaska. the purchase of alaska for $7.2 million ended imperial russia's colonial presence in the americas. many indigenous peoples protested the sale, arguing that they were the rightful owners of the land and that russia had no right to sell alaska.
