America was a isolationist country until late 1800s. whuich meant we concentrated all our energys on our country not others. several reasons is because we werent developed as a country, and we had a weak military. also the slavery and civil war took effort as well. we also had all the alnd and resources to use.America got Alaska becuase the Russians wanted to give up in the new world, they where either going to sell it to the British or Americans, they cose the americans because of a conflict the russians had with britian. it costed 7.2million to buy.
