Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins and extent of Russian claims to the waters of the North Pacific, and particularly of Behring Sea, during the period from 1799 to 1825, as well as the justification for those claims. It explores the historical events and context within which the Russian claims arose, the reactions and responses of other nations, including Great Britain and the United States, to those claims, and the broader question of international law as it relates to the subjects of exploration, navigation, fishing, and territorial waters at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. The book draws upon various historical sources and analyses them within the context of the broader historical narrative, including the actual text of the 1799 Charter by which the Russian Tsar granted exclusive rights to the Russian-American Company over the territories in question, and the 1821 and 1825 treaties between Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The author argues that the Russian claims were ultimately unfounded and that their rejection by other nations helped to establish the principle of the freedom of the seas in the North Pacific, which is still recognized today.
