We all know that Cuba was taken by the British in the Seven Years' War but given up for Florida. What would things have been like if Britain had kept the island? By extension, this can be extended to Martinique and Guadaloupe-I think sadly most people don't realize the Carribean had nearly become entirely British in conquest barring Hispanola and Puerto Rico by wars' end-but Cuba is what I am especially wondering on.
I'm amazed they gave it for Florida, since a quick proxy war or strike could maybe have taken it, much less colonists filibustering into it as they keep expanding along the eastern seaboard...
