'''New Orleans''' was a city located in southeastern {{Wiki|Louisiana}}, a critical trade route that linked the {{Wiki|Mississippi River}} and the {{Wiki|Gulf of Mexico}}. Founded in 1718, it immediately became an important economical, political and cultural center for trade and commerce.
==History==
===Spanish Louisiana===
During the 1760's, the city experience major turmoil. In 1765, French rule ended and New Orleans was officially handed over to the Spanish. The following year, Spanish governor [[Antonio de Ulloa]] arrived in the city but was met with fierce resistance by French creoles. In 1768, during the [[Louisiana Rebellion]], he was forced into exile after being spared by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]]. Soon afterwards, a new Spanish governor was assigned to the city, who quickly regain control.
The [[Templars|Templar Order]] used this transfer of the colony to gain access to the highest levels of government and extend their operations. After setting up a covert slave trafficking operation, the Templars worked with French and Spanish officials in diverting slaves and vagrants from New Orleans to a work camp in Mexico to excavate [[First Civilization]] ruins in search of an artifact known as the [[Prophecy Disk]].
During the following decades, many dangerous fires ravaged the city, destroying several French colonial buildings. Most of the structures within the French quarter of the city were actually built by the Spanish.
In 1801, Spanish rule ended and the city was handed back to the French. However, French rule ended two years later when [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] sold the colony to the [[United States]], a transaction directed by US President Thomas Jefferson.
