Why did napoleon bonaparte give up on his hopes of building a north American empire?

1 answer:

7 0

-French North American mainland territory had been unproductive and costly to maintain in past wars, something that Napoleon knew he could not afford in the upcoming wars.
 -Britain had already declared war on France, surely part of the reason was to try and encourage better Franco-American relations. Surely Napoleon had some idea of American pride and stubbornness as well, once the U.S. controlled the territory

-Napoleon knew that there was no way any European power (Britain specifically) would conquer the territory.

Napoleon needed money and the sale of the Louisiana territory brought France some much needed capital.

Answer:

The Burning of Washington was a British invasion of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, during the War of 1812. On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross burned down multiple buildings, including the White House (then called the Presidential Mansion), the Capitol building, as well as other facilities of the U.S. government.[3] The attack was in part a retaliation for the recent American destruction of Port Dover in Upper Canada. The Burning of Washington marks the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power has captured and occupied the United States capital.

Renting v. Owning a house (differences)

Gwar [14]

Basically, when you rent a house it's like staying in a hotel. You pay to live there and use the amenities. When you own a house, you still have to pay bills and all that, but the property is yours to live on.

Renting a home is when you pay a certain amount of money to stay in that home for a certain amount of time, while owning a home is when you have purchased a house as property.

When renting a property, there is a Landlord and the Tenants. The landlord owns the property and is renting it out to the tenant(s). The tenants pay rent to the landlord in exchange for living there.

When you are paying rent you will have to pay for:

- monthly rent

- security deposit

- utilities- electricity, water, garbage, etc.

- renter's insurance

When you own a property, you must pay for:

- monthly mortgage payment

- down payment (one time cost)

- closing cost (one time cost)

- utilities, garbage, water, etc.

- homeowner's insurance

- real estate property taxes

- maintenance
