Treaty of Paris
Post 7 years war timeline
Treaty of Paris
During the war, Great Britain had conquered the French colonies of Canada, Guadeloupe, Saint Lucia , Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , and Tobago , the French "factories" (trading posts) in India , the slave-trading station at Gorée , the Sénégal River and its settlements, and the Spanish colony Havana (in Cuba ). France had captured Minorca and British trading posts in Sumatra , while Spain had captured the border fortress of Almeida in Portugal , and Colonia del Sacramento in South In the treaty, most of these territories were restored to their original owners, but not all: Britain made considerable gains.
France and Spain restored all their conquests to Britain and Portugal. Britain restored Havana and Manila to Spain, and Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Gorée, and the Indian factories to France. In return, France recognized the sovereignty of Britain over Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Tobago. France also ceded Louisiana to Britain.
Spain ceded the Luzon(without Manila), Sulu Archipelago and Florida to Britain . In addition, while France regained its factories in India, France recognized British clients as the rulers of key Indian native states, and pledged not to send troops to Bengal . Britain agreed to cede British Honduras (now Belize ) to Spain.
France lost all of its territory in mainland North America, but had retained fishing rights off Newfoundland and the two small islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon , where its fishermen could dry their catch. In turn France gained the return of its sugar colony, Guadeloupe, which it considered more valuable than Canada. Voltaire had notoriously dismissed Canada as "Quelques arpents de neige", "A few acres of snow".
The Consequences of the Treaty of Paris
The British would proceed to rename back the island of Luzon that they owned to the former name of Luzon which is Selurong while in the North America, the British colonies would expand bordering with Spanish Mexico.
Note: No Treaty of Fontainebleau
