Fort Ross

Japanese: フォート・ロス(英語表記)Fort Ross
Fort Ross
A base of the Russian Empire located on the Pacific coast of North America. Russia, which took possession of the Aleut Islands and Alaska, established the Russian-American Company, a national policy corporation, in 1799, and began building a large base north of San Francisco in 1812, mainly for the purpose of catching fur seals. This expansion of Russia to the Pacific coast was one of the backgrounds to the Monroe Doctrine (1823). With the subsequent decline in the fur seal population, the base was sold to American settler J.A. Sutter in 1841.

北アメリカ大陸の太平洋岸にあったロシア帝国の基地。アレウト列島,アラスカを領有したロシアは,1799年に国策会社である露米会社を設立,主としてオットセイ捕獲のため1812年サンフランシスコ北方に大規模な基地を建設しはじめた。こうしたロシアの太平洋岸進出が,モンロー主義宣言(1823)の一つの背景となっている。その後オットセイの減少などとともに,同基地は41年アメリカ人開拓者J.A.サッターに売り払われた。
