Seems unlikely unless somehow the locals would've been Bolsheviks

I think there were only ever 700 settlers

I expect that Alaska would have ultimately ended up in the hands of the US via WWII

They did convert the natives though

Yes but negligable settlers

The U.S. would have made the Alaskan territory part of lend-lease or otherwise for it's assistance to Russia

I think longterm it would've become more Russian like Siberia did become

I wish they had just annexed cuba

I did enjoy your video yesterday

thanks

I have not read those books

However during the civil war it could've hosted a government in exile

Oh are you talking to someone else

lol

but I did watch Alt History Hub do videos on it

no you

Oh right

and I like hearing about it

also did you see my comment lol

I think so

```"Southern blacks just kind of run rampant across burning and looting, and setting up their own little socialist pocket states." - Just like our own timeline. You are right about Turtledove using real events for the 919 timeline.```

I thought that was pretty clever

Not annexing the Phillipines was a really really good idea

Cuba I think might have worked out

yeah, the Phillipines were a disaster

Cuba sure

I think Cuba has gotten a lot blacker since the revolution

I've heard so too

A lot of whites left

Then race mixing

If only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Walker_(filibuster) had suceeded

Super LARPer

It's amazing how close people like him came to succeeding though

I think Nicaragua actually was under the control of someone like him

Also there's actually a somewhat recentish example of this

That would have been a shit show

Like Pannama or Castarica

might have worked out

David Duke once tried to overthrow the Dominican government reinstalling some old leader

I think they called that one the Bayou of pigs

I'm not making this up
