When we look at maps,we always see Alaska as the portion of the USA that's at the northwestern most part of North America. Is it so possible to imagine Alaska being a region of the British,and later handed over to Canada?
Could the British have taken Alaska from the Russians,and just had it as a possession..part of Rupert's Land? Later being administered by Canada? If so,would it be a province of Canada? Or a territory like Yukon,or Nunavut? I think it would be part of Canada,especially after oil is discovered.
I don't think oil in Alaska would benefit Canada much. I could just imagine British Colombia,Alberta,Yukon and the Northwest Territories being more developed possibly due to Alaska oil being pumped into Canada.
Lastly,would the region be called "Alaska" or something else? I've heard some other names that would be used if the land was possibly part of Canada.
