Description

Is of introducings BPBall! If there is of villain, he is of it! :(

1763: The Seven Year's War comes to an end. The Treaty of Paris divides New France between the Mississippi River. The United Kingdom gains control of Eastern Louisiana and Quebec (and Florida), and Spain is given control of Western Louisiana via the secret Treaty of Fontainebleau signed a year earlier.

1803: The War of the Second Coalition ends. The Consulate ensures the survival of the French Republic and its European annexations. The Peace of Basel had ended hostilities between France and Spain in 1795. The Treaty of San Ildefenso, signed 5 years later, formally retroceded Western Louisiana to France. However, it only gained actual control of the territory in 1803 - just 3 weeks before the Louisiana Purchase.

Since Louisiana would have been an easy target for the British (and without sugar revenues from the rebellious slave colony of Saint-Dominique [Haiti]), Napoleon just decided to sell the whole thing to the United States for 3 cents an acre, viewing it as being of little value.
