The French and Indian War was lost by the French to the British. The Treaty of Paris gave the British all the land in N. America east of the Mississippi River, all through Canada. Spain got the lands west of the Mississippi...How did that happen, and how did the French get Louisiana back in time to sell the Louisiana purchase back to the US in 1806?

A very good question and it is tied to the long standing cooperation of France and Spain allied against England. When one lost a war they would cede territory that might be lost to the other. The defeat of France in the war of 1763 was devastating and transferred most of North America to England, less previously ceded Louisiana Territory to Spain. The battle on the Plains of Abraham near Quebec is one of the most important in history. When France got the chance to sell Louisiana they set up a 24 hour transfer to France and in that 24 hours France sold Louisiana to the United States. The famed French Quarter in New Orleans should be named the Spanish Quarter as all the architecture is Spanish.

It relies upon in case you recommend greatest in numbers or in share in line with inhabitants. i could think of at a wager it may be the Costa del Sol in numbers besides the undeniable fact that during Torrevieja interior the Costa Blanca i do no longer think of human beings even talk Spanish. In Mallorca this is extra Germans that stay there.
