jan 10, 1800 - France Reclaims Future Iowa

Description:

Claims to land that would become Iowa were transferred from Spain to France. During the Napoleonic wars in Europe, Spain became a satellite of France, and the Mississippi River area was transferred back to France under pressure from Napoleon. Spain had exerted very little control or contact with the area north of St. Louis.
