Alaska's Rich History

A Brief History of Alaska

Early Inhabitants

Alaska has been inhabited for thousands of years by Indigenous peoples. Ancestors of today’s Alaska Native groups—such as the Inuit (Iñupiat and Yupik), Aleut (Unangax̂), Athabaskan, Tlingit, Haida, and others—migrated across the Bering Land Bridge and developed rich cultures adapted to the region’s diverse environments.

Russian Period (1741–1867)

The first Europeans to explore Alaska were Russians, led by Vitus Bering in 1741. Russian fur traders soon followed, drawn by the sea otter trade. They established trading posts and settlements, particularly in the Aleutian Islands and along the coast. Russian control, however, remained mostly coastal and limited in scope.

U.S. Purchase (1867)

In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million (about 2 cents per acre), in a deal negotiated by Secretary of State William H. Seward. At the time, many Americans mocked the purchase as “Seward’s Folly,” but the acquisition would later prove to be extremely valuable.

Jamón Ibérico Journey

The History of Jamón Ibérico

Origins in Antiquity The roots of Jamón Ibérico stretch back thousands of years to the time of the Celts and Iberians, who inhabited the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal). These early settlers raised wild pigs and developed primitive methods of salting and air-drying meat—techniques that formed the foundation for today’s Iberian ham curing process.

By the time of the Romans, ham had become a celebrated delicacy. Roman writers such as Cato the Elder described salted hams in their agricultural texts, and archaeological finds have revealed Roman-era ham curing facilities and tools across Spain.

History Challenge Journey of ukraine

History of Ukraine

Ancient and Medieval Periods The territory of modern Ukraine has been inhabited since prehistoric times. In antiquity, Greek colonies flourished along the Black Sea coast, while the Scythians and other nomadic tribes roamed the steppe. The Slavic tribes, ancestors of modern Ukrainians, began to settle in the region around the 5th century AD. In the 9th century, the state of Kievan Rus emerged, with its capital in Kyiv (Kiev). Founded by the Varangians (Vikings), it became a powerful and prosperous federation of Slavic tribes. Under rulers like Prince Volodymyr the Great (who Christianized the state in 988) and Yaroslav the Wise, Kievan Rus became a cultural and political center in Eastern Europe.
