What If Russia Kept Alaska? | Alternate History

What if the Russian Empire, rather than sell Alaska to the United States in 1867, following it's defeat in the Crimean War, instead held onto it's sole North American Territory? Why did Russia sell Alaska, and how might this alternate scenario have impacted the later Russo-Japanese War, the Great War, and of course, the Bolshevik Revolution, and subsequent Russian Civil War?

I find this funny this came out 6 hours before alternate history’s version of this

[stjanscrabeck]

Imagine if the Soviet Union had Alaska... They could create a situation similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis, but on their own soil.

He released this right in my break at school.

"Threatening To Steal The Moon" said from a russian ambassador that sounds like the ambassador was Gru.

*Russia* “Alaska is worthless let’s sell it for 1$ a hectare to the USA.”
*USA* “Wow there’s gold and oil here guys!!! Trillions of $ worth here!”
*Russia*

I’d disagree that the Bolsheviks would have still come to power, with Russia’s victory in the Russo-Japanese war the duma wouldn’t have existed so most would more likely push for moderate democratic and socialist reforms rather than revolution especially if conditions had been bettered in previous year as he had eluded to.

The grizzly bears would be tame because of the Russians bear training tatics

I have an entire class period free because the teacher decided to release us early and this is what I have waiting







Perfect

Damn, what are the odds that 2 alt history YouTubers make the same scenario and have a VPN service as their sponsor?

[ktyphoy]

I love it! And here are the lists that I want to see the future video.
1. What if Korean Empire never fails.
2. What if Korea becomes the colony of France?
3. What if Japan becomes the colony of the USA?
4. What if Xinhai Revolution failed?
5. What if Two Sicilian Empire had a colony or refuse to united with Italian Empire?
6. What if USA failed in the Spanish American war?
7. What if Ethiopia was the superpower in the African continent?
8. What if Park Chunghee survives in the 10/26?
9. What if China was scrambled like Africa?
10. What if China won the First Sino-Japanese War?
11. What if Guiana becomes the state of Canada?
12. What if France and Britain involve the Civil war?
13. What if the Berlin uprising success and the Soviet evacuate the East Germany?

I'm disappointed you didn't make any reference to the U.S. invasion of the Soviet Union, 1918-1920.
Since the U.S. was concerned enough about the Bolshevik Revolution to be willing to take the very difficult step of sending forces to Siberia in our timeline, it seems a pretty good bet that there would be an even larger U.S. incursion in this one.

An early upload is a pleasant surprise.

Not sure if this is just me, but would Russia not losing the Russo-Japanese war mean that the British fear of Russia dominating Asia and thus threatening India continue ? Especially after their conquest of Central Asia giving them near direct access to India . With Japan proving they are unable to properly counter Russian domination of Asia alone . Would they not try to ally Germany ? Or at the very least allow Germany and Russia to duke it out alone . Not only that if ever Germany position in Central Europe be loss . It would mean that the Russians would be able to focus on Asia while France would be able to use German industry and population and increase their own risk . Keep in mind this is before the first Great War so the diplomatic relationships France and Britain are still icy at best .

[alaztor]

The entire video is mesmerising, but then again so is Mr Z voice too.

[hydrogenone]

Want to hear a Joke,
It is so cold here in Alaska

that I saw a politician having hands in his own pocket.

[officialzji]

I once use to say a lot of unique alternate history question, but everytime I did, it has been ignored.

Now I'm here. I'm here as a normal viewer typing normal comments of every video you released.

And I have to say:
This is a unique alternate history for Russia. Love it! ♥

[lincselo]

This one is easily one of the most fun (and realistic) videos so far. I miss the pre-soviet Russia, I would love to see them around today.

[saintbread]

The gov in exile in Alaska sounds like something from Kaiserreich

[branimirkolarov]

What if yugoslavia did not turned communist?
