WI the British, who had attacked Kamchatka and threatened Alaska in the Crimean war, actually took it, and kept it as war spoils? Do they sell it to the US? What is the consequence of a British Alaska?
 
Could definetly be a sore point between Britain and Russia. The Great Game be a bit nastier if Britain decides to keep the region.
 
Unlikely the British would sell it to the US, since it adjoins the rest of British North America and forms a natural extension.
 
Why would Britain sell Alaska to the United States? Is it also including Ireland in the deal??

Simply put, there are 49 states unless Puerto Rico takes the leap. Don't think the Great Game, in Central Asia, would be greatly effected by the loss of Alaska.
