Best Answer

Several European nations had overlapping claims on territories. The Spanish were given Florida from the French, then got into a territorial dispute with Britain, turning over the land in the Pinkney Treaty of 1795. Louisiana was given to the Spanish by the British, then the French took possession of the land. It was about to become the permanent property of Spain, but Thomas Jefferson beat them to the claim by working out a deal with France for the Louisiana Purchase.

Which 7 countries own parts of Antarctica?

No country owns any part of Antarctica. All land and ice south of 60 degrees S is governed by the Antarctic Treaty (1961), and is preserved for the scientific study of the health of planet earth. Nations including Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, France and Norway claim territory on the continent, and some of these claims overlap each other. The treaty holds all these claims in abeyance and prohibits future claims.


Which country's claims on Antarctica overlap?

Claims over territory on the Antarctic continent overlap based on lines of longitude and those being used to define territory claimed. The continent is covered -- 98% -- by an ice sheet, making geographic lines useless as bases for claims. Since claims were made individually by nation states, and not by any agreement, the claims overlap. The Antarctic Treaty does not recognize any claims and further prohibits future claims.
