Correct answer: France

The United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 for fifteen million dollars, doubling the size of the young nation overnight. Although Spain had ruled the territory for several decades prior, France had secretly reacquired it shortly before selling it to President Thomas Jefferson, who wanted to secure American access to the port of New Orleans.
