No, Teddy Roosevelt did not buy Alaska from Russia; the purchase occurred before his presidency. Alaska was purchased by the United States from Russia in 1867 during the administration of Secretary of State William H. Seward, for $7.2 million. This acquisition, often referred to as "Seward's Folly," was finalized on October 18, 1867. Roosevelt later supported the expansion and development of Alaska, but he was not involved in its purchase.
