Napoleon’s Mistakes I

By the end of the French and Indian Wars circa 1763, France lost all of its assets in North America, crushing hopes of a colonial empire. This empire was centered on the Caribbean island of Santo Domingo and its lucrative cash crop of sugar.

He initially intended to use Louisiana as a "breadbasket," but decided it would be better to sell it.

Thomas Jefferson was disturbed by Napoleon's plans to re-establish French colonies in America. With the possession of New Orleans, Napoleon could close the Mississippi to U.S. commerce at any time. Jefferson authorized Robert R. Livingston, U.S. Minister to France, to negotiate for the purchase for up to $2 million of the City of New Orleans,

With Spain's refusal to sell Florida to Napoleon, the sale of the now-useless Louisiana would supply needed funds to wage war there. Napoleon directed his ministers, Talleyrand and Barbe-Marbois, to offer the entire Louisiana territory to the U.S.

The Louisiana Purchase cont.President Jefferson had approved the payments of $10 million for a port city (New Orleans), and instead received treaties committing the government to spend $15 million on territory, which would double the size of the country. President Jefferson was a passionate supporter of westward expansion, so despite Federalist objections, the U.S. Senate ratified the Louisiana treaty on April 30, 1803, for $15 million.

Napoleon received only $8,831,250 in cash for Louisiana

Helped the United States become a world power, and masters of trade along the Mississippi river.

Napoleon’s Mistakes II

• Invasion of Russia in 1812, the defeat at Trafalgar by Admiral

Lord Nelson and the British navy, prevented Napoleon from

invading Britain. Britain was the most dangerous opposition to his reign, and his invasion of Russia was a disastrous defeat because in part of the Russian winter.

That in turn encouraged countries under his control to

rise against him.  When he returned to Paris, he was forced to abdicate. Some 14,000 French and Spanish sailors were lost, ten

times the British casualties
