Which statement is true about the Treaty of Paris 1763?

• A. Ended the American Revolutionary War; Recognized American independence.
• B. Ended the French and Indian War and France acknowledged British control of India.
• C. Ended the French and Indian War; France lost Canada and land east of the Mississippi to Britain; France recognized British control of India.
• D. Allied France with Britain against Spain.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that this treaty ends a major colonial conflict and reshapes who controls key lands. It marks the end of the French and Indian War in North America and redraws the map: France loses Canada and all territory east of the Mississippi to Britain, while Spain takes Louisiana west of the Mississippi and Britain gains Florida from Spain. This shifts imperial power decisively toward Britain in both North America and, by weakening French expansion, indirectly strengthens British influence in India as well. The statement aligns with that outcome by noting the war’s end and the specific territorial changes that followed, including Britain's new dominance in Canada and along the Mississippi, plus the broader impact on French competition in Asia.
