What if during the Russian control of Alaska Oil and some of its uses was discovered? Would the Tsar sell Alaska?
then what uses for oil are there? and even if there is an engine wich runs of crude oil, wich can power a vehicle of some sort, i don't think the czar will care much about that barren piece of wasteland.
That's part of the POD. Earlier oil uses, leading to quicker oil search, leading to the finding of oil in Alaska, leading to.... What?
Gold might have done it (Klondike etc), oil not at that time
