Adams-Onís Treaty: Spain Sells Florida to the US (1819) 

Facts

Item: Adams-Onís Treaty: Spain Sells Florida to the US ...

#1644 

0
Event In the early 1800s, tensions between the US and Spain were increasing over border disputes in North America. With Spanish power in the New World declining, it was widely believed that Spain would lose land to the US. The Adams-Onís Treaty settled the dispute by attempting to draw clearer borders, roughly granting Florida and Louisiana to the US while giving everything west of Louisiana to Spain. The US did not pay Spain directly for the new land. Instead, it compensated Spain in what way?

You see, even though I know there must be a perfectly rational explanation for this... it's still veeerry eerie....

I wonder why this never really took off as an extreme sport...
DJ 08:41:21 | 24 Oct 2011

This endeavour surely encapsulates the beginning of a 500 year period of European domination of the East, which is only now being truly dismantled...

Is it wishful thinking to hope that we never again see this kind of deliberate, wholesale massacre of civilian populations...?
DJ 07:50:26 | 9 Mar 2011
Not Mr Perfect by any means, but I can't disagree with that... he was also the most vocal opponent of appeasement in the 1930s, warning largely deaf ears of the growing threat from the national socialism movement in continental Europe.

Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, FDR & Mao - all astonishing men in astonishing times but for me, it's Churchill who is the Man of the 20th Century.
He was warning FDR about Stalin's Iron Curtain intentions for several years before the phrase was coined and wanted - I gather - to attack the Russians and drive them out of Western Europe but FDR would have none of it.
