Thanks.

Andrew -- we can't help you if you don't post complete information. In this situation, you didn't indicate to which exploration you referred.

Yes. It was 104 years between d'Iberville's exploration of the Louisiana coast and the Louisiana Purchase.

No, the Louisiana Purchase and its exploration did not span 104 years from 1699 to 1803. To accurately determine the number of years between the Louisiana Purchase and its exploration, we need to look at the relevant historical events.

The Louisiana Purchase took place on April 30, 1803, when the United States acquired a vast territory from France, doubling the size of the country. This event is generally considered the starting point of the exploration of the newly acquired land.

The exploration of the Louisiana Purchase was carried out primarily by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson. The expedition began in May 1804 and ended in September 1806, lasting a total of about two and a half years.

To calculate the number of years between the Louisiana Purchase and its exploration, we can subtract the year of the purchase from the year the exploration concluded:

1806 (end of the exploration) - 1803 (Louisiana Purchase) = 3 years

Therefore, there were three years between the Louisiana Purchase and the completion of its exploration, not 104 years.
