Why Does Alaska Have A Panhandle?

[@KW-es1uh]

Fun fact: Russia first wanted to sell Alaska to Liechtenstein. Yes, you heard me. LIECHTENSTEIN.

[@YourLocalPlushAddict]

Man I wish the government just accepted it

[@Superrichy261985]

Liechtenstein owns land and property in Czechia. And all of it together is bigger than Liechtenstein. They are in dispute since 1945 when the Czechs seized the properties.

[@WestonTish]

Wtf really?

[@taotao19741]

Imagine

[@DPRK_PATRIOT68]

I put alaska as Liechtenstein in my alternate world map💀💯

[@michaelhaywood8262]

The year of the sale of Alaska to the US was the same year as Canada becoming self governing [1867].

So many fun stories in the US/Canada border disputes. You’ve got the border between Maine and Canada that took forever to settle, mostly because nobody cared. And the best of all, America’s least talked about war, the Pig War.

[@icebulb]

I could maybe consider doing a vid about the pig war

[@jeffburke170]

Sorry, no link, somewhere there is a retreating glacier leaving a beach that is Canadian, waaaay up the panhandle.

[@articwolf9365]

Alaskan here. You pernounced Aleutian correctly.

fun fact: alaska almost got sold to liechtenstein

[@icebulb]

True!

[@Alberta_51st_State_Movement]

Damn- I wish it still extended as far south as it used to. It would have been connected with the lower 48 States. And the U.S. would have had control of the entire west coast west of Canada. But mainly, I just wish that Alaska was connected with the lower 48 States.

Bro your the first person to comment on this channel

[@Alberta_51st_State_Movement]

Not only on the Alaskan Panhandle did both sides settle the border about halfway. Same with the border at the 49th parallel. The British at the time wanted their southern border to be at California's northern border.; the U.S. wanted it almost as far north as Alaska's southern panhandle border is now. And there's Maine. The U.S. wanted the border further north; Canada wanted it further south. In all three examples, both sides split the difference. And although the same didn't happen with the U.S. and Mexico, it's ironic that instead of ceding all of Mexico, they ceded half of it. Almost. I wish it was all. Meanwhile, I wish the U.S. never gave Mexico back the Baja Peninsula. And I wish the U.S. didn't lose the Philippines or give up Cuba and the Marshall Islands.

[@nanorider426]

How about having a video about The Danish Canadian Whisky/Snaps "War"? It's the civilized way of having a war. ^^

[@icebulb]

That would be a suuuper cool vid, but I believe it’s already been done multiple times right?

[@nanorider426]

[@Dracheplayz]

the only time a Canadian got angry

[@icebulb]

It was their villain origin story for their war crimes in ww1

[@andreman86]

Don't forget that the Russians first offered Alaska to Liechtenstein

[@icebulb]

You’re right!

[@graceneilitz7661]

Yeah, but Liechtenstein was a poor Austrian dependency. It was probably not an honest offer, because the Russians likely knew that Liechtenstein didn’t have the money or power to take Alaska.

[@svenvandenhurk4931]

It is unfair it Should Have Been 3 canadians and three Americans and One British

[@dnrspdr03canadian95]

Well Canada was a British colony and so it's loyalty was to the home country to make the right choice which it sucks how it ended up this way but mind you Canada on its own without Britain, there wouldn't have been any negotiations as the U.S would've just taken everything, being apart of the British Empire was really Canada's only bargaining chip in this event.

[@TearMeOpenIBelieve]

It still would have been 3 Can vs 4 USA +Britain

[@aoinkypig1254]

Russia also tried to sell Alaska Lichtenstein,

Less of the glottal stops, the only reason some young British people do not pronounce their 'Ts' is to look cool in University for some bizarre reason. Americans glottal stop and never pronounce their 'Ts'

[@icebulb]

English is not my first language😭 I’m neither American nor British

[@Brian88920]

@icebulb Your English is probably superior, especially without the glottal stops. Great historical videos, by the way, especially the way you simplify the historical content into a fun parody, to keep the audience captivated.

[@icebulb]

I’m glad you enjoy them!

[@graceneilitz7661]

The Alaskan (US)- Canadian border was formed because of a treaty between the Russian Empire and the British Empire. The modern day borders of the panhandle were formed due to the 1903 arbitration.

Im 2 weeks late but this is unerrated as fuck

alaska has oil so usa owned it

U.S bot Alaska in1959

[@BloodBaath]

Might have missed it but this didn’t explain AT ALL why there’s a panhandle…

[@icebulb]

You missed it, Russians wanted the panhandle cause of the otter road, so they sign with the British the Treaty of Saint Petersburg, vaguely setting the borders, then, the borders are set once and for all after the US buys Alaska from Russia, it's explained in the video

[@FOGGYlama123]

As an American its so funny how much other people talk about the happenings of the United States. Pathetic.
