Answer:

The aquisition of the Louisiana Territory nearly doubled the size of the United States.

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase was an agreement held in 1803, when the United States, under President Thomas Jefferson, bought land from France for $ 15 million. With the purchase, the United States doubled its previous area.

France was weakened and in financial crisis after the loss of Haiti. Napoleon Bonaparte offered the US to buy the land, partly to improve finances, and partly because he saw a strengthened US as a counterweight to the UK. In the agreement signed, the boundaries were only vaguely formulated and it was not clear whether the purchase also included Western Florida and Texas. After negotiations with Spain and the United Kingdom, the boundaries of the Florida Purchase were established in 1819.
