Answer:
It gave the United States control of the port of New Orleans for trade.
Explanation:
The Lousiana Purchase was important because New Orleans is located at the mouth of the Mississippi River that at that time was the main highway of trade and commerce for the US. When the French took over New Orleans from the Spanish they revoked the “right to deposit” that allowed the Americans to use the Port.
With the purchase, the US acquired approximately 827 thousand square miles of land for 15 million dollars. It doubled the size of the US, removed threats of French of blocking US trade, added agricultural power to the US.
The Rhineland had to be demilitarized, and worst of all, Germany was required to pay a $40 billion reparations bill to the Allies for starting the war. This bill wrecked the German economy in the 1920's and led to the economic and political conditions that created Adolf Hitler.
France was declared bankrupt in 1788.
Louis XIV had made huge state debts by building the Versailles palace and declaring wars (especially with Austria and England) which cost too much money. When Louis XV entered the throne, there was a state debt of 400 million livres, and he couldn't repay the debts. He tried to though, by making the French pay taxes (everybody had too, except the clergy and nobility).
It wasn't enough, and when Louis XVI succeeded him all he could do is raise the taxes and hope for the best. It didn't work out, and France went bankrupt.
