Why did france agree to sell the louisiana territory to the united states? i. france was promised control over canada. ii. france worried about an alliance between america and england. iii. france needed money to finance wars. iv. france was worried spain would take away the caribbean.

The correct answer is III. France agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States because it needed money to finance the Napoleonic Wars in Europe.

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase was the agreement by which, in 1803, the United States, under President Thomas Jefferson, bought land from France for $15 million. With the acquisition, the United States doubled its former acreage.

France was weakened and in financial crisis following the loss in Haiti and renewed war against Britain. Napoleon Bonaparte offered the United States to buy the land, partly to improve finances, and partly because he saw a strengthened United States as a counterbalance to Britain. In the agreement signed, the boundaries were only vaguely worded and it was not clear if the purchase also included western Florida and Texas. After negotiations with Spain and the United Kingdom, the boundaries were set in the Florida Purchase in 1819.
