  • The Battle of Omaha was a crucial battle in the Alaskan War, fought from August 25th to 31st, 1886. The war marked the farthest advance of the Army of the East under Andrey Zukhov into American territory, and was fought in and around the growing industrial and railroad city of Omaha, Nebraska. While the tactical result of the battle was muddled and there was no decisive victory, the Alaskans could eventually not sustain their efforts after seven days of bloody, close-quarters fighting and eventually withdrew to north of the city, failing to capture or destroy the crucial railyard at the south end of the city despite entering the yard at one point. The valiant American defense of the railroad yard, with the defenders sorely outnumbered and outgunned, was the inspiration for the 1958 movie The Railyard Siege and its 2007 remake. It elevated the commander of the Army of the Dakotas, Peter W. Urban, to hero status and helped give the American government more bargaining power when it came to designing a ceasefire and treaty in the ensuing two years than had Omaha been destroyed or captured. The significance of Omaha was not lost upon the Alaskans, where the failure to capture a major American city eventually helped topple Tsar Feodor II.
