Definition
France established the Mississippi Company in the 18th century to develop its territories in the U.S. Shares in the company were sold at inflated prices in exchange for national securities. Speculation led France to print more paper money. The bubble burst in 1720 and the market crashed due to a bank run following a drop in the value of French banknotes and Mississippi Company shares.
