Answer:

Explanation: This episode in history is also accounted as the "LOUISIANA PURCHASE."

The best explanation can be two ways.

1. The first reason that can be accounted for is the french failed in Santa Domingo thus there was an uprise of rekindled war with Great Britain.

2. The second reason is the financial drawbacks that prompted Napoleon to offer the land to America.

I hope the answer was helpful. :)
