RUSSIAN COLONIZATION OF AMERICA - FORT ROSS IN CALIFORNIA

The Russians are coming! The Russians are comi...well, actually. They already came. Back in 1812, the Russians actually claimed territory in California - way before the US came and turned into a paradise for Katy Perry songs and Tiki Bars. Fort Ross was the first Russian settlement south of Alaska and if not for a series of comical geopolitical mishaps, might actually have kept their foothold in the Americas. What happened, you may ask? Watch and find out! (Hint: Mexico).
