I was wondering what the realistic consequences of Russia keeping Alaska would be. What would be the short term consequences of not selling Alaska to the United States (lets say short term is 20 years or so)? What would be the long term affect (lets say more than 50 years)?
Is Russia capable of financially or militarily keeping control of Alaska until ww1?
