The Alaskan Boundary Line, a historically significant border between Alaska (United States) and British Columbia (Canada), was subject to a long-standing dispute, particularly intensifying during the Klondike Gold Rush. The dispute centered on the interpretation of the Anglo-Russian Treaty of 1825, leading to the Hay-Herbert Treaty and the formation of a boundary commission in 1903, ultimately resolving the border's precise location and impacting US-Canada relations.
