What happened in 1805-1806?

Answer 1

A whole lot of things happened from 1805 to 1806, especially since you didn't specify where. But, here's a brief list of some of the major ones:

Events going on through 1805-1806:

• Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815)
• Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806)
• Creation of the Harmony Society (a German Christian group, 1805-1905)
• Development of the Michigan territory into a state (1805-1837)
• An accidental fire in Detroit (1805) and the aftermath
• Muhammad Ali Pasha's dynasty in Egypt (founded 1805, existing past the 1840s)

Events starting in 1805 andending in 1806:

• The French fleet participating in the Battle of San Domingo (Napoleonic Wars) set out in 1805 and met the British fleet in 1806.
• The Louisiana Territory was established in 1805. The Corps of Discovery arrived at the Pacific Ocean later that year, having successfully explored it, and returned home in 1806.
• In the offensive against Hanover, Swedish, British, and Russian forces started out against Napoleon in 1805, and the Swedish retreated alone in 1806.
• The Holy Roman Empire created a flag for the Rhine Customs Administration in 1805 and collapsed in 1806 (the flag was in use from 1805-1806).

My guess is that you're probably looking for the Louisiana Purchase and the dates mark the time the territory was formally established to the time the explorers came home, but that seems like a messy way to designate dates, so I could be wrong.
