Manage episode 441760414 series 3580656
Hello! In this episode I discuss the Louisianna Territory, primarily the french and spanish claims to the territory prior to the american purchase. There a quite bit of twist and turns in the story of the Louisianna Territory, so stay tuned for part 2 where the story gets even more interesting.
Warning! There are many french and spanish names that I tried my best to prounounce.
