The Louisiana Territory was purchased under President Thomas Jefferson in 1803. This acquisition from France effectively doubled the size of the United States and was driven by Jefferson's desire for land to promote westward expansion. The purchase was facilitated by the urgent need for funds by Napoleon Bonaparte, who was facing challenges in Europe and the Caribbean.
