North America 152 years ago today: Canadian Confederation (01 Jul 1867) https://buff.ly/2XfwAEy US expansionism, its purchase of Alaska and its alleged support of Irish Republican Fenian raiders encouraged the British to listen to demands for self-government and unification from its remaining North American colonies. In 1867, they assented to the formation of the Dominion of Canada by uniting the British colonies of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. #northamerica #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1860s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1867 #alaskapurchase #americanhistory #canada #canadianhistory #july #july1 #newbrunswick #novascotia #uppercanada #lowercanada #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzXhghUA9tj/?igshid=12z75g23klkev

The Arctic 150 years ago today: Boshin War (27 Jan 1869) https://buff.ly/2RgxGIb In Japan, the instability which had followed the arrival of Perry’s ships had ultimately led to the termination of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the concentration of power in the hands of Emperor Meiji and his supporters. A final attempt to reassert Tokugawa power in the Boshin War was defeated in 1868-9, as imperial forces chased the rebels north into Ezo. Following this victory, Japan formally annexed the Ainu lands of Ezochi, embarking on a policy of rapid consolidation and modernization. #arctic #history #welovemaps #map #1860s #1869 #alaskapurchase #boshinwar #canadianhistory #hokkaido #january #january27 #meiji #shogunate #emperormeiji #arctichistory #japanesehistory #russianempire #tokugawa #ezorepublic #maps #ainu #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historynerd #historygeek #worldhistory #asianhistory (at Sapporo-shi, Hokkaido, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtILuJwAQW8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=szfkxar4adzs

Did you miss Dr. Farrow’s lecture at the Kennan Institute in Washington, D.C. last week? Never fear! The Wilson Center has shared the audio recording of the lecture. Dr. Farrow gives an overview of just what the Alaska Purchase was, how it came about, and its impact at the time. She also discusses the implications of the deal for foreign policy and international diplomacy far beyond Russia and the United States at a moment when the global balance of power was in question.

The Arctic 151 years ago today: Alaska Purchase (30 Mar 1867) http://omniatlas.com/maps/arctic/18670330/ While the British worried about the Americans in British Columbia, the Russians had come to accept that they could not defend isolated and sparsely populated Russian America against either nation. Although the Russians had started negotiations to sell the colony to the United States in 1859, talks were disrupted by the American Civil War, before finally being concluded in 1867 when US Secretary of State William Seward agreed to the purchase of what would soon be known as the territory of Alaska for $7.2 million. #arctic #history #welovemaps #1860s #1867 #alaska #britishcolumbia #canada #canadianhistory #britain #maps #march #march30 #prussia #queencharlotteislands #russia #unitedstates #vancouverisland #usa #alaskapurchase #russianamerica #russianempire #map #manifestdestiny #americanhistory #ushistory #geography #cartography #historybuff (at Sitka, Alaska)
