“” “” During the fall of 1863, the darkest hour of the Civil War, part of the Russian fleet arrived at the ports of New York and San Francisco. In this new history column, Professor C. Douglas Kroll talks about the visits and their significance.
Many Americans are surprised to learn that until the early 20th century, the United States had better relations with Russia than with Britain or France. The United States had fought two bitter wars against Britain: the War of Independence and the War of 1812. “” “”

“” “” By contrast, the United States had never had a quarrel with Imperial Russia, and, in fact, the relationship was characterized by peace and goodwill. Empress Catherine II (the Great) refused to send Russian soldiers requested by King George III to suppress the rebellion of his subjects in North America.

Emperor Alexander I helped mediate a peace between the United States and Britain to end the War of 1812. In 1832, Russia became the first nation to have “most favored nation” trading status with the United States. The United States alone stood by Russia in 1854 and 1855 during the Crimean War.”” “”

Let’s not forget the Revolutionary naval hero John Paul Jones was also The father of the Russian Navy. Also We supported the White Russians during the Russian Revolution and sent at least one division there helping evacuate out of Valadavastok during the early 20’s.
