In which dispute did Fairbanks play a role in settling?

  • Louisiana Purchase

  • Alaska boundary dispute

  • Texas Annexation

  • Oregon Treaty

Answer

The Alaska boundary dispute was a dispute over the boundary between Alaska and Canada. The dispute began in 1867, when the United States purchased Alaska from Russia. The boundary between Alaska and Canada was not clearly defined in the treaty, and the two countries disagreed about where the boundary should be. The dispute was settled in 1903, when the United States and Canada signed the Alaska Boundary Treaty.
