บท 927: Chapter 692: Thirty Against One, Fair Isn't It?

When it comes to the relationship between France and the United States, aside from the well-known Founding Father Louis XVI, there is also a period that the French do not wish to mention. That was when, at the beginning of the 19th century, the Americans took advantage of a vulnerable situation to rob France of its vast colonies.

This event occurred just decades after the American War of Independence, and France, which had just helped the American people gain independence, was threatened by the United States and sold 2.6 million square kilometers of its land in North America to the US for a mere 15 million dollars.

What does 2.6 million square kilometers represent? The land mass of mainland France is about 550,000 square kilometers; the land seized by the United States was approximately five times the size of France's native land.
