He moved to Europe and began lecturing and giving speeches. He met a financer named Henry Huttleson Rogers in 1983. Rogers made Twain file for bankruptcy and transfered all ownership of Twain's works to Twain's wife, Olivia Langdon, to avoid the rights being taken by publishers. Rogers took absolute control over Twain's money until Twain's debts had been paid off. Also, in 1895 Twain embarked on a year-long tour that would take him around the world. He used the money from this tour to finish paying off his debts in full, though he was no longer obligated to do so.
