When did the Spanish and the English settle Alaska?

The answer is simple: Never. The Inuit were the original inhabitants of Alaska. They controlled the territory until the Russians took over control. The Russians transferred control of Alaska to the United States for money. The United States has retained control of Alaska ever since. The furthest north claims on the West Coast of North America from both the Spanish and the British were Oregon Territory which includes current Oregon, Washington, and parts of British Columbia, Alberta, and Idaho. This is all south of Alaska.
