{"title":"Dividing the Northern World: The Arctic and the Alaska Purchase","authors":"Janice Cavell","doi":"10.1093/dh/dhac094","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/dh/dhac094","url":null,"abstract":"“Probably this treaty stands alone in the history of diplomacy, as an important treaty conceived, initiated, prosecuted and completed, without being preceded or attended by protocols or despatches,” declared U.S. Secretary of State William Henry Seward after he arranged the purchase of Russian America (Alaska).1 The treaty had indeed been negotiated in a highly unconventional manner. Seward and the Russian minister in Washington, Eduard Stoeckl, worked out the terms swiftly and almost alone.2 Stoeckl’s written instructions from his government were only a few pages long. Seward, who received no formal directive at all, merely consulted briefly with U.S. President Andrew Johnson before going ahead.3 No detailed records were kept by either side. Despite this lack of primary source material on the negotiation itself, historians have been able to analyze most of the issues involved, particularly the two key questions: why Russian Tsar Alexander II and his advisers wanted to dispose of the territory and why the United States decided to acquire it.4 The broad consensus is that the Russians were increasingly anxious to be rid of their only overseas colony, seeing it as more of a geopolitical and economic liability than an asset, while Seward viewed acquisition as a way to strengthen his country’s position on the Pacific coast. Both sides wanted to discomfit their mutual adversary, the United Kingdom, by placing the colony of British Columbia between two large stretches of U.S. soil. Seward, who was bent on further expansion, hoped that the purchase would induce the colonists to join the United States.5","PeriodicalId":46665,"journal":{"name":"Diplomatic History","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135346381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Mearsheimer’s argument, talk of expanding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU) into Ukraine posed an existential threat to Russia. Western influence undermined Moscow’s ability to control this vast territory close to its borders. Russian President Vladimir Putin could not allow U.S. weapons and aid in his backyard, just as the United States has not accepted similar foreign interventions in the Western Hemisphere. “This is the way great powers behave,” Mearsheimer explains. Realism as a theory allows observers to see beyond idealistic hopes for equality and humanism, turning attention to the self-interested behaviors of powerful actors, especially when their security is threatened. Putin is acting as a realist in Ukraine, according to Mearsheimer, while the United States and its Western allies are not.1","PeriodicalId":46665,"journal":{"name":"Diplomatic History","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135276886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
