The Louisiana Purchase was sold by France to the United States because Napoleon Bonaparte, the French leader at the time, needed money to fund his military campaigns in Europe. Additionally, France was unable to effectively control and develop the vast territory, so selling it to the United States was seen as a way to secure funds and offload an unwieldy possession.
