France and Spain quickly signed the treaty for the transfer of Louisiana.
Joseph acquired two million square kilometers of land from the west of the Mississippi River to Wyoming, while Charles IV got his wish of seeing the gold mine map.
It was in California.
The Empire had ruled there for nearly two centuries, yet they never discovered the large gold mine present there.
Actually, this can't entirely be blamed on the Spaniards being inept; at the time, there were fewer than twenty thousand immigrants, and the gold-producing waters were simply uninhabited.
Historically, it wasn't until a large number of westward-moving Americans poured in that they unexpectedly discovered the gold mine.
Now, this process was artificially shortened by Joseph by nearly forty years.
According to the "Franco-Spanish Louisiana Treaty," France could start immigrating to Louisiana from now on.
Once Spain confirmed the scale of the gold mine, administrative control would be officially transferred.
