In 1803, one of the most significant real estate transactions in world history occurred.

France, under Napoleon Bonepart, sold approximately 530 million acres of territory in the middle of North America to the newly founded United States.

The reasons for France's selling and the United States' buying were varied, and they attracted considerable controversy on both sides of the Atlantic.In the end, however, some deals are just too good to pass up.
