The Louisiana Purchase, finalized in 1803, significantly expanded the territory of the United States by acquiring approximately 828,000 square miles of land from France. This acquisition doubled the size of the nation, providing vast tracts of land for settlement, agriculture, and exploration. It also secured control of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, which were vital for trade and transportation. Overall, the purchase laid the foundation for westward expansion and played a crucial role in shaping the future of the U.S. as a continental power.
