Until 1803, Louisiana belonged to France. This state, covering an area of 2.1 million km², became the first major purchase by the United States. Initially, the plan was to acquire only New Orleans and its surroundings, but Napoleon urgently needed funds for military purposes. For $15 million (or $22 million by some accounts), he offered the Americans the entire territory of Louisiana. At that time, this territory was not particularly valuable to Paris and appeared more of a burden. Today, this land encompasses six whole states and parts of nine others. After the deal, the U.S. nearly doubled in size, just a quarter-century after gaining independence from Great Britain!
