Why did he sell such a massive chunk of land for 15M? Was he stupid?
>>541002688Napoleon was fighting for his life and reputation in Europe. 15 000 000 worth of US cannon, gunpowder and steel is a pretty good deal if it's life or death
>>541002688That's the most stupid decision an European ever did. No contest
>>541002985i thought high IQ people were supposed to think longterm
>>541002688No take backs
cuz this colony was useless and he needed money to gain support aggain cuz France was a mess after Revolution
>>541003020Alaska sale was more stupid
America would be filled with even more niggers if France held on to it
>>541003086he had to secure a “longterm” first, so he was.
>>541003086Napoleon was the head of state in the most absolute critical time of history since Julius fucking Caesar. His partial victories were so substantial he brought democracy to Germany and set up the legal codes of modern day mainland Europe imagine how much MORE longer lasting Napoleons influence would be had he won
>>541002688Hey at least we gave the frogs money, injuns just got smallpox and BWC cum injections
>>541003120Hardly, the Louisiana Purchase turned the USA in the most powerful country on earth within a generation. By the time Alaska was also purchased, its course had already been taken
>>541003219fuck him
>>541002688Partly because he needed the money, but mostly because it annoyed King George.
>>541002688France could have lost the territory anyway. They didn't have the naval power to fight for it if the UK or US tried to take it by force.
>>541003301to be fair the establishment did everything in their power to keep people from settling west so they couldn't access the mississippi or the fur trade
>>541002688Wars aren't cheap and he had to get ready to fight the Brits.Also he was sullied on the idea of creating a French colony in the Americas because of what happened in Haiti revolt and didn't think he could make money from the American territory anymore.So he cut his losses on something that may not pay off and prepared for something that was inevitable.
>>541002688Because he set up a real currency, as the (((British))) were on Jewish usury unlimited funds banking and he needed to combat them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swvDeHDmyFw
>>541003086High IQ people also know when the situation doesn't call for that.
>>541002688He knew he couldn't hold it, and he knew that selling it to us would have the bonus effect of making America a world power, which would result in endless Bong seething, which continues to this day.
>>541003624The UK would have sided with France over the US because they knew that letting the United States expand would eventually cost them their own empire.
>>541003820probably, limey bastards
>>541002688Because Louisiana was a shithole that did nothing but scam people
>>541002688Brits established a central bank to win. And they won.
>>541002688When Haiti fell he expected to lose it to the British anyway
>>541002688see >>541002985Napoleon knew he couldn't hold the Louisiana Territory; either the Bri'ish or us 'Murricans were going to take it one way or the other. He could sell it to us or lose it anyway, so he sold it for as much as he could get.>>541003020What about Spain electing socialists who are letting niggers get permanent residency?
>>541005404Jew-rope has been dead for centuries, if not millennia.
>>541002688It was already lost, basically. It was destined to become US territory.Truth is, his people were demanding that he produce an heir, and his wife was not producing. He needed the money for a side-piece. He still couldn't get a girl, even with all that money, so he marched his troops towards Moscow in their pajamas, during winter. Most of them froze to death, 50K deserted and became Russians. He had lots of women after that, but still no heir. Probably not the wife's fault after all. The male population of France still hadn't bounced back before Hitler, and those women welcomed the Germans right in.
