Nice little tidbit of California history.
A lot of people don't know that around that same time Imperial Russia laid claim to the Pacific Northwest from Sitka, Alaska all the way south to San Francisco Bay. This encroachment by the Tsar lead to the Monroe Doctrine which decreed that any more colonization of the Western Hemisphere by Europe would be considered an act of war. Not long after Russia abandoned their fur trading settlements having wiped out all the sea otters.
Had history played out differently perhaps we might have seen Argentina going to war against Russia over California!
Wow, that is really interesting! I had no idea!
@vieira you mean there was a part of Argentina that suffered terrible crime, partied a whole week, and was so drunk they couldn't remember most of it? Sounds like a lot of Argentina from any point in history lol
Thanks for sharing this history. It was entertaining to read especially because I've lived in California my whole life.
Excellent post, I am from Argentina and did't know about this story, it is something that doesn't teach at schools.

Imagine if Argentina has kept California... The precious pacific coast she has been longing for. No more jealousy of Chile.
And yes, you have won my follow:D

Didn't the US also take Texas from the Mexicans?
And Alaska from the Russians.
Naughty naughty :)
The US bought Alaska from the Russian Empire for $7.2 million in 1867. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Purchase Texas is not so clean as you imply.
You've captured my attention.
;)
I wish my kids will be much cuter than that ^^

How bout we give it back to Argentina, just a thought! : ) And send Senator Feinstein who only believes the military and her body guards need guns along with the deal.
