A deadline refers to the time by which something must be completed.

I was a little unsure about the actual reason for the word 'looming,' so I looked it up. In psychology, looming refers to the fact that if something rapidly gets bigger, it's perceived as getting closer.

I guess they use this, because as deadlines become more relevant in our head (ie. as they BEGIN to get closer) we start to obsess with them (ie. enlarge them), therefore making them seem closer than they actually are.

That's just my thoughts on it. Hope that helped :)

What two developments led Napoleon to sell the US Louisiana?

Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States was influenced by two key developments. First, the failure of the French expedition to suppress the Haitian Revolution weakened France's ability to maintain its North American holdings. Second, the looming threat of renewed conflict with Britain made it essential for Napoleon to secure funds and resources, prompting him to sell the vast territory to the U.S. for $15 million in 1803.
