Talk:Luisiana (Federalist Failure)

As I understand, French history reminded as *here*, at least to 1800. Right?

With no USA, Napoleon had no bidder to sell Louisiana. But then, Napoleon had no force projection capability to control Louisiana facing the Royal Navy.

So, if Napoleon could not control Louisiana, and could not sell it, why would he wanted it back from the Spaniards in the first place?
