How was the American Acquisition of Alaska and Hawaii controversial

1 answer:

7 0

Russia offered to sell Alaska to the United States in 1859, believing the United States would off-set the designs of Russia's greatest rival in the Pacific, Great Britain. The Senate approved the treaty of purchase on April 9; President Andrew Johnson signed the treaty on May 28, and Alaska was formally transferred to the United States on October 18, 1867. This purchase ended Russia's presence in North America and ensured U.S. access to the Pacific northern rim.

Brrunno [24]

Well for one, there was the idea that Communism was a direct threat to Democracy itself. That the rise of Communism would be the downfall of Democracy. As well, there was the fear that Communist countries would align with each other, the threat of nuclear war was already a huge scare and as such an alliance would have been seen as a threat to the US.
