If Russia had won the Crimean War and the Russo-Japanese War, it would have likely solidified its influence in Eastern Europe and East Asia, potentially expanding its territory in these regions. The failure to sell Alaska would mean that Russia retained a significant North American territory, which could have provided valuable Natural Resources. By 2011, Russia might have a more extensive coastline on the Pacific, increased geopolitical power, and a stronger presence in global politics, impacting its relationships with neighboring countries and the West. Overall, this alternate history would have likely led to a very different balance of power in the 20th century.
