Zoroastrianism, or more natively Mazdayasna, is one of the world's oldest extant religions, "combining a cosmogonic dualism and eschatological monotheism in a manner unique among the major religions of the world". Ascribed to the teachings of the Iranian prophet Zoroaster (or Zarathustra), it exalts a deity of wisdom, Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord), as its Supreme Being. Major features of Zoroastrianism, such as messianism, heaven and hell, and free will have, some believe, influenced other religious systems, including Second Temple Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity, and Islam. With possible roots dating back to the second millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism enters recorded history in the 5th-century BCE, and along with a Mithraic Median prototype and a Zurvanist Sassanid successor it served as the state religion of the pre-Islamic Iranian empires from around 600 BCE to 650 CE.
France played a role in Americans moving West by agreeing to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The Louisiana Purchase was a deal made by the United States and France, and was the exchange of U.S. territory for around $15 million. During this time, the France had owned numerous current states in the United States, but as the States began to grow more rapidly they needed more land. Napoleon, who was the leader of France at this time, declined the first offer for the Louisiana Purchase, but as conflicts in Europe arose, he decided he needed the money and finally agreed. This granted the United States more territories to the West.
