@MeanwhileinCanada@ohai.social Fun bit of history trivia! When Russia sold Alaska to the USA there were about 300 Russians in the entire area. There were about 600 British/Canadians in the same territory at that time, and the UK had a prior claim to the region. (The UK would later drop their dispute of the claim in exchange for a couple sugar-producing Carribean islands they swiftly lost.)
