Outcome of the French and Indian War and Treaty of Paris

Very Hard Period 3: 1754–1800 French And Indian War

Following the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763, the Treaty of Paris significantly reshaped territorial claims in North America. The war had immense financial costs for Britain, leading the government to rethink its colonial policies. Tensions between Britain and its American colonies grew as new policies aimed at reaping revenues from the colonies were instituted.

One of the significant consequences of the Treaty of Paris was the shift in territorial control. The British gained vast territory west of the Appalachian Mountains, previously held by the French. However, this expansion also set the stage for future conflicts with Native American tribes affected by these territorial changes.

Considering these consequences, which of the following statements best describes a direct outcome of the French and Indian War and the resulting Treaty of Paris?

Britain negotiated a peaceful coexistence with Native American tribes in the newly acquired territories.

The war prompted the British government to enforce the Proclamation of 1763, limiting colonial expansion.

France regained control of Canada and its territories in the Mississippi River Valley.

The Treaty of Paris granted Spain full control over all British territories in North America.
