The colorful Christmas tree and decorations were enjoyed by all. alized that an England, victor ious in the Seven Years War, would not leave her in control of any territory in the Missis sippi Valley. France ceded the area West of the Mississippi to Spain in 1762 and Enyland took the area East of th eRiver in 1763. The whole area had been called Lou isiana by France, and the name was now transferred to the Span ish area. Spain did no tcontrol the area effectively, and its own ership was threatened by the British from Canada to the North and after 1783. by the U nited States. New events in Europe and the rise of Napoleon brought on an other shift of ownership. As Napoleon came to power he started to rebuild France's for mer glories. One of his projects was to again make France a great power in the Western hem isphere, and to this end he for ced the Spanish to give Louis ana back to France in return for promises of territory in Eur ope.

They had trouble con trolling Haiti and when they found themselves again at war with England, who controlled the sea, they found Louisiana much less valuable than they had expected. The United States had been very much disturbed by the pro spect of a powerful France as Its neighbor on the West and In control of the mouth of the Mississippi. It had approached France to see if we could not purchase the area called West Florida to protect ourselves from French control of the Miss. Issippl. France made the counter pro posal of selling us all of Louis iana. We seized this ereat op portunity for the United States to develop into a world power. We acquired Louisiana or about $15,000,000, in 1803, thereby doub ling our territory and placing us In position to expand to the Pacific in less than 50 years. DO IT YOIKSFIF FAN London.

The Spanish again gained con trol and finally the French, for the second time before it came into the hands of the United States. During the second period of Spanish control, the British also were interested in the area and p. British victory in our war for Independence would probably have transferred the area to England. The shifting of control of the area from one nation to another particularly the often forgot ten shift to pain after 17G2, and the temporary shift back to France just before the United States acquired the territory in 18U3 is confusing. At the same time it points up the importance of this trans-Mississippi region to the world and in the devel opment of the United States. In the first period of explora tion Spain and France compet ed for the area on the basis of exploration and occupation. In this contest Spain lost the are;i to France before 1730.
