LOL not being subtle about the whole "let's take the territory where all the Kurds happen to live!"
Although I appreciate it, that isn't actually what the picture was. It was a map of my own creation that was, without wanting to sound too arrogant, more accurate than the Wikipedia one.

I checked an Ethnic map of Iraq and the Iraqi Turkmen only live in like 1/10, probably less, of the area that would be taken from Iraq. Not sure about Syria, but that bit would probably even be less Turkic.

I seem to recall north Borneo being sold to the US for a few months in the 1840s before being sold back to the British due to lack of easy access. There’s not a whole lot of surviving info about that.
You must mean this, and it wasn't sold to the United States, but was leased to private Americans (the US government actually thought the venture was a waste of money and refused to back them) to establish a settlement in the jungle. The settlement failed and the land was then sold on to an Austrian baron who in turn sold it on to a British chartered company (rather like the East India Company and thus given a royal charter to conduct exploration and colonization)....
