Answer:
Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the territory of Louisiana by the United States from France in 1803. In return for fifteen million dollars, or approximately eighteen dollars per square mile, the United States nominally acquired a total of 828,000 sq mi. However, France only controlled a small fraction of this area, most of it inhabited by American Indians; for the majority of the area, what the United States bought was the "preemptive" right to obtain Indian lands by treaty or by conquest, to the exclusion of other colonial powers. The total cost of all subsequent treaties and financial settlements over the land has been estimated to be around 2.6 billion dollars.
By its terms the Louisiana Territory, in the form France had received it from Spain, was sold to the United States. For this vast domain the United States agreed to pay $11,250,000 outright and assumed claims of its citizens against France in the amount of $3,750,000.

Answer:
The Oslo Accords happened most recently, in 1993.
Explanation:
The Oslo Agreements are a collection of agreements between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israeli Government. The Oslo I Accord was signed in Washington, D.C. in 1993 and the Oslo II Treaty in Taba, Egypt in 1995. These agreements were the start of the process known as the 'Oslo Process' which was an attempt to reach peace and to give Palestinians the right to self-determination. The secret negotiations between the two sides, which gave the name to the accords, began in Oslo, the capital of Norway. The outcome of this negotiation was recognition of the State of Israel by the PLO and recognition of the PLO by the State of Israel. Both parties were considered partners during the negotiations.
The Oslo Negotiations gave way to the Palestinian National Authority, which is responsible for the autonomy of parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The accords, however, did not create the State of Palestine.
