Explanation:

The purchase of Alaska by Seward from Russia in 1867 predates the other events. The Guano Islands Act was introduced later. Chemical - fertilizer invention and changes in U.S. island - territory use also came after Alaska's purchase. The return of islands claimed through imperialism is a more recent event in the context of U.S. history.

D. Russia was looking to sell Alaska for two cents an acre, and Seward was able to purchase it.
