which country gained the louisiana territory in the treaty of paris of 1763?
spain
the first major territory spain was to lose in the 19th century was the vast and wild louisiana territory, which stretched north to canada and was ceded by france in 1763 under the terms of the treaty of fontainebleau. the french, under napoleon, took back possession as part of the treaty of san ildefonso in 1800 and sold it to the united states in the louisiana purchase of 1803. napoleon's sale of the louisiana territory to the united states in 1803 caused border disputes between the united states and spain that, with rebellions in west florida (1810) and in the remainder of louisiana at the mouth of the mississippi, led to their eventual cession to the united states,
