Answer: Expanding the territory of the United States and giving American traders access to the northern rim of the Pacific

Explanation:

With the Crimean War having ended, Russia realized that Alaska was quite vulnerable to British invasion and acquisition from Canada and so sought to sell it to free themselves of the burden of having to defend it.

They approached U.S. Secretary of State William Seward who began the acquisition process after the American Civil War.

In acquiring the territory in 1867, America was able to increase it's land mass significantly as well as giving American traders a foothold in the North to enable them trade in Asia and the northern Pacific.

Mention the obstacles to modernization of agriculture in nepal.​
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Although Nepal's economy is mainly focused on agriculture, it faces many problems and obstacles to modernizing agriculture. The first obstacle is that the country has a low investment in technology, which prevents farmers from having access to new resources aimed at agriculture, causing them to be stuck with traditional agricultural systems and elements.

These traditional agricultural systems do not allow high productivity of crops, causing crops to be low, sales to be low and economic gain to be weak, preventing farmers from investing in better production methods.

Other challenges to this modernization are the lack of investment in research, the lack of efficient transport, the lack of a good irrigation system and a limited market.
