Territorial purchases Wikipedia article: Should the French purchase of Corsica from Genoa be included?
editIn this specific Wikipedia article, should the 1768 purchase of Corsica by France from Genoa be included here? What do you personally think? Futurist110 (talk) 07:48, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think so, yes. However, I can't find a good source for how much it cost France. fr.wikipedia says £200000 per year for ten years but that statement is uncited. Need to track down a good source for it. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 16:57, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not entirely sure. Corsica was ceded to repay Genoa's debts to France. Perhaps if you were able to find a source on the amount that Genoa owed France, you wouldn't have an exact amount. As well, France gave Capraia to Genoa, so it could be seen as a territory exchange with no money being actually exchanged. ChaseLerew (talk) 17:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
Nominal Cost vs Inflation Adjusted Cost
editThe table has no information about whether or not the cost is nominal or inflation adjusted. I think there should be a clarification, and ideally a separate column for each one. ToasterLightning (talk) 05:25, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Corisca should be added
editAccording to the source below, France purchased Corsica from Genoa in 1768 for 40 millionlivres, but I do not feel confident enough to make the update myself. https://www.google.ca/books/edition/France_Britain_and_the_Struggle_for_the/jFkLDgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=What+was+the+price+of+Corsica+when+bought+by+France&pg=PA19&printsec=frontcover WmDKing (talk) 19:08, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
problem with sorting by Area.
editif we sort the table by Area (descending order), some how Gwadar with 15000+ km² ends up listed below 400 km². Not sure how to fix this. Sy.mehdi.riz (talk) 22:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
