DescriptionGreat Britain's victory in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) led to the complete defeat of France and Spain as colonial powers in North America. The peace treaty negotiated at Paris in 1763 resulted in France's loss of all her possessions in continental North America; Spain traded Florida for Havana, which had been conquered in the war's waning days. Britain stood as the unchallenged colonial power east of the Mississippi River.
