Selling Alaska for $7.2 million was not a loss.
Looking at the polar bear that sold Alaska in today's eyes, it must feel a loss.
But how can a polar bear, which has a strong desire for land, buy and sell at a loss.
The sale of Alaska at that time was indeed because the land had found no advantages other than greatness.
Moreover, at that time, the polar bear was surrounded by Britain and France, and it was not sure that Alaska could be held.
Instead of being robbed in vain, it was better to sell some money, and at that time more than seven million US dollars was not a small amount, and the United States also borrowed a lot of money from Britain and France and other countries to pay off.
For the United States, buying Alaska is not because of some clever calculation and long-term vision.
The United States is also afraid that Alaska will become a springboard for North America to become a British and French or polar bear.
For the United States and the polar bear at that time, both sides suffered no loss in this transaction, and as for the big loss later, it was just because all the conditions changed.
