Peace of Paris

The Peace of Paris refers to a series of treaties signed in 1763 that ended the Seven Years' War, a global conflict primarily between Britain and France. The agreements significantly shifted power in favor of Britain, which gained control over Canada and Florida, while France ceded Louisiana to Spain. These treaties helped establish Britain as a dominant colonial power and set the stage for future tensions in North America, eventually leading to the American Revolution. The Peace of Paris marked a pivotal moment in 18th-century geopolitics, reshaping territorial boundaries and colonial dynamics.
