1867年,在国务卿威廉.亨利.希沃德支持下,美国购买了俄国的阿拉斯加。西沃德之所以购买阿拉斯加是因为阿拉斯加有丰富的自然资源,在太平洋贸易中占居优势地位;同时,也是因为英美、俄美在美洲的激烈争夺。内战中,俄国对美国联邦政府的友好行为促进了这次购买行动。购买阿拉斯加是西沃德实现“太平洋商业帝国”梦想的重要步骤,是美国走向世界的关键。
In 1867, with the support of Secretary of State William H. Sheward, the United States purchased Alaska, Russia. Seward’s purchase of Alaska is because Alaska has abundant natural resources and holds a dominant position in the Pacific trade. At the same time, it is also due to the fierce battle between the United States, Russia and the United States in the Americas. During the civil war, Russia’s friendly actions with the U.S. federal government promoted this purchase. The purchase of Alaska is an important step in Seward’s dream of realizing “Pacific Business Empire.” It is the key to the U.S. going to the world.
