Despite the numerous logistical hurdles Alaska encounters, there is a promising potential for it to become an international hub in the future.

Here is an interesting map circa 1750 that shows the territories controlled by France, Great Britain and Spain. Note the immense territory under the control of France, recognized as New France and generally consisting of the colonies of Canada, French Acadia, Louisiana and the "Pays d'en Hauts" (ie Upper Country). In terms of today's borders, this territory extended as far as the Gulf of Mexico to the south, Cape Breton Island to the east, and parts of Manitoba/Saskatchewan to the west. This obviously changed following the Seven Years' War in 1763 and this great North American kingdom of France was ceded to Great Britain (except the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon).

The Black Sea Region as a Global Inflection Point Hudson Institute 21 JUN 2024 Long a crossroads between East and West, the Black Sea region today occupies a crucial geography from which the future security and prosperity of the transatlantic community will radiate. Russia’s unrelenting, unprovoked war against Ukraine has focused the world on the Black Sea. In the process, the world has grown to appreciate the role of Romania as a shoreline of stability. Twenty years after joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Romania is one of America’s strongest and closest allies, with an ambitious and ongoing defense modernization program centered on American-made capabilities. The strategic partnership between the United States and Romania has further manifested itself through economic and security agreements, joint exercises, and a US presence at key bases in Romania. Join Hudson for a discussion with Romanian Foreign Minister Luminiţa-Teodora Odobescu on why Russia’s war against Ukraine and the broader contest for the future of the Black Sea region is a global inflection point with far-reaching ramifications. The West today faces a stark choice: disengage and watch the Black Sea radiate instability and embolden autocrats, or seize the opportunity to transform the region into a driver of future transatlantic prosperity and security.
