    Not only did France need the money, they also knew they could not defend it against aggressive American expansion. Basically, they knew they would eventually lose it and may as well get something out of it.

    France was willing to sell the Louisiana Territory because Napoleon decided that it was too expensive to try to hold such a vast amount of land in the western hemisphere, and he needed the money for an upcoming war with England
