论沙俄在北美殖民的失败及影响

Failure and Infulence of Tsarist Russia in North American Colonization

俄国在美洲的殖民活动曾比较活跃。后来之所以失败,一方面因为俄国农奴制的落后和俄美公司商业和政治上的失败;另一方面,俄、英、美在美洲的争夺日趋激烈,俄国在处于弱势的情况下,被迫调整对外战略,退出美洲而保障它在欧亚的势力。俄国的北美殖民活动及其退出对北美地区及国际关系产生了重大影响。

Russian colonization in the Americas was quite active, but failed in the end. On the one hand, it was because of the backward serfdom in Russia and the commercial and political failures between Russia and the United states. On the other hand, the competition of Russia, Britain, the United States in the Americas was increasingly fierce. Under the disadvantaged circumstances, Russia was forced to readjust foreign strategy and withdraw from the Americas and Europe. Russia＇s North American activities and withdrawal from the North America had a significant impact on international relations.
