The claim that one nation is more powerful than the other is irrelevant. Comparing Russia and the United States economies is basically based on how weak analysis believe the Russian Federation really is.

The United States is already a powerful country but they wanted to expand more. When expanding, the United States opened an untapped market through other countries and gained more industrial powers and built a stronger empire. Although getting more power cost the United States a great deal of battles, wages and the need for strong militaries, they still overcame. The events the United States went through to achieve such power and have great gains still outweighed those costs.

The location of Alaska (lying between the United States and Soviet Russia) made it a valuable bridge between North America and Asia. Rivalry between the two countries over the territory began when American whalers and fur traders began to travel westward and came in contact with Russian whalers and fur traders in the same area. The two countries ignored the squabbles for a few years, but eventually the complaints reached the ears of the officials and a treaty was made, followed by the instillation of several military outposts.

Russia was ruled by the Tsars and followed a monarchy until 1917. The last Tsar of Russia was Nicholas II who had a turning point in the relationship with his people after the 1905 Russian Revolution. This revolution was “sparked off by a peaceful protest held on January 22nd” (Trueman, 2016).

Consequently, the Cold War will not be revived again. In conclusion, in this new era of globalization, new relationships will be developed by Russia and the US.
