The powerful military leader of France at the time of the Louisiana Purchase was Napoleon Bonaparte. He was the ruler of France and sought to expand French territory in the Americas but ultimately decided to sell the vast Louisiana territory to the United States in 1803 to fund his military campaigns in Europe. This acquisition significantly increased the size of the United States and was a pivotal moment in American history.
