March Historical World Events:
-
March 30th, 1867 – The United States bought Alaska for $7.2 million. The Alaska Purchase transferred the territory from Russia to the United States. Today the estimated cost would translate to about $133 million dollars. To put things in perspective, that’s still only $0.37 per acre. In 2021, buying an acre of land in a state like New Jersey could cost you around $196, 410. Even a cheaper state like Wyoming can still run about $1,558 per acre. Talk about inflation!
-
March 6th, 1899 – “Aspirin” is patented by Felix Hoffman. He was working at the German company Bayer when he received the patent for the drug, acetylsalicylic acid. This blood thinner and fever reducer can also help inflammation. Today, aspirin is widely used to treat a number of chronic ailments from pericarditis and arthritis to the common cold.
- March 1st, 1936 – The Hoover Dam was completed, creating Lake Mead, which is the United States’ largest reservoir by volume when at its largest capacity.
