The US and Canada haven’t only had borders with friendly countries for centuries. Even as recently as the 19th century, the US was frequently at war either with Canada and the UK, Mexico, or the native Americans in the modern-day Midwest and western US.
The last conflict between Canada and a neighbour (not a rebellion or a conflict vs. natives) was the 1812 war which ended in 1815, more than 2 centuries ago.
The last conflict between the US and a northern neighbour was that 1812 war. In the south it was the Mexican-American war which ended in 1848, 175 years ago.
Internal rebellions, civil wars, and guerilla conflicts don’t count as conflicts with neighbours.
I feel like a Russian Alaska would break away sometime during the Russian civil war. Perhaps it would become a Taiwan of sorts or maybe it becomes an autocratic totalitarian shithole like North Korea.
