Why did united states buy alaska from russia

The Russians’ coffers were drained from the Crimean War, and rather than let their imperialist neighbor England (Canada) take it, they convinced the United States to buy it. So, they sold it to a friend so an enemy couldn’t take it.

Anyways, Russia had long ago extracted the resources they wanted, so it was just a matter of time before they shuttered the costly colonies and the Russian American Company.

There are still at least two Russian colonial buildings standing in Alaska. The best preserved is by far the Russian Bishop’s House in Sitka, Alaska.

The U.S. National Park Service now owns the house that the Russian American Company built for the Russian Orthodox Church with the money they were raking in from sea otter pelts sold to China.

Could you add me as best answer?

two jet streams that directly affect the formation of weather in the continental part are a polar jet and a subtropical jet. they are responsible for the transportation of weather systems, which directly affect people. the polar front is the boundary between cold air from the north pole and warmer equatorial air. both the polar jet and the subtropical jet blow from the west to the east, and follow the boundary between cold and warm air.

the strongest jet streams are polar jets, while subtropical jets are somewhat weaker.

the right answer is c. the polar jet stream is generaly stronger than the subtropical jet stream.
