Who can tell me something about Alaska? The more, the better?

Answer 1

Alaskan territory was the only part of North America invaded by the Japanese in 1942 (Kiska Island in the Aleutians)
The AlCan Highway was constructed by engineers in record time. Most of those construction crews were African American.
The biggest North American earthquake of the twentieth century was in Alaska in 1964.

There are no Eskimos in Alaska, the Eskimo are a native people who lived in western Greenland and eastern North America. The people we often confuse with the Eskimo are Inuit, and they do live in Alaska.

We bought it from Russia in 1867. It was derided as Seward's Folly, or Seward's Icebox, because the purchase was negotiated by Secretary of State William Seward, the only Cabinet officer wounded in the attack of April 14, 1865. The other government official attacked that night was President Lincoln of course.

The Aleutian chain forms the southern boundary of the Bering sea, and extends almost to Japan.
