The land of Alaska was bought from Russia and the purchase was called Seward's folly as it was thought ridiculous. 

<span>Hawaii was a sovereign nation with its own monarchy but populated by Americans, particularly the pineapple owners, who wanted to be a part of America to avoid various import taxes etc. They forced the then king to sign, at gunpoint, a new constitution which disenfranchised many voters and then used economic and political strength to eventually end the monarchy and make Hawaii a part of the US, both were voted in as states in 1959</span><span />

Esta afirmación no es cierta sobre Ecuador. La gente en Ecuador habla predominantemente español, y aunque el quechua también es un idioma oficial, no es tan dominante como el español. La comunicación formal en el país, incluidos los círculos políticos también, se realiza en idioma español, y aunque hay muchos políticos que hablan quechua, el idioma en sí no está determinando ningún estatus superior o mayor influencia política de ningún tipo.Explanation:
