Treaty of Fontainebleau

The Treaty of Fontainebleau was an agreement signed in 1762 between France and Spain during the latter part of the Seven Years' War. France secretly transferred the territory of Louisiana in North America to Spain in exchange for Spanish support. This treaty aimed to strengthen alliances and reshape territorial holdings. As a result, Spain gained control over a vast area of potential in North America, although France retained some rights in the region. This treaty significantly impacted colonial boundaries and the future of North American territory, shaping the balance of power among European colonial powers.
