Answer:

Well no It isn't a loss for France. France has debt like each country. France sold Louisiana because of the debt and also that it took money to travel between America and France. The purchase was good and bad to America. It finally allowed them to explore west and it also was bad because of the debt they put themselves in.

Hope this helps
