Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the unlikely alliance between the United States and Russia during the American Civil War. While the two nations were ideologically opposed, with the United States representing democracy and Russia an autocracy, they found common ground in their shared fear of Great Britain. The author reveals how this partnership, formed out of necessity, played a key role in deterring European intervention in the Civil War and preventing an Anglo-French alliance against Russia. The book dives into the complex and often overlooked history of this relationship, revealing the motivations behind Russia's support for the United States, drawing on previously unexamined archival materials. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Crimean War, the rise of sectionalism in America, and the political climate that led to the outbreak of the Civil War. Through detailed accounts of diplomatic exchanges, political figures like Abraham Lincoln and Tsar Alexander II, and the influence of prominent individuals like Edouard de Stoeckl, the Russian minister to Washington, the book sheds light on a fascinating chapter in American and Russian history. The book's insights offer a fresh perspective on the forces that shaped the American Civil War and reveal how international alliances can be forged even between nations with vastly different political systems.
