What did the Treaty of Paris in 1763 accomplish? 🔊
The Treaty of Paris in 1763 marked the end of the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War) between Great Britain and France. The treaty resulted in France ceding Canada and all its territories east of the Mississippi River to Britain, while Spain ceded Florida to Britain in exchange for the return of Havana, Cuba. This significant territorial realignment greatly expanded British influence in North America and curtailed French power, setting the stage for British colonial discontent that would eventually lead to the American Revolution.
