It's the largest and wildest state in the country. It's a place where people dream big and attempt the impossible. Unfortunately, it's also a place where people tend to not stay for very long. And there's a very good reason for this! Despite the state literally paying its citizens to stay put, people tend to leave for the lower 48 due to a unique combination of geography, historic and economic reasons. In this video, we'll cover the extensive and unbelievable geography of Alaska. Then we'll dive into the unique and compelling history of how it became part of the United States. Finally, we'll cover the modern economic and population conditions that practically force people to leave the state. -- Stock footage and music acquired from www.envato.com, www.storyblocks.com and videvo.net.
