Treaty of Paris 1763

 


The Treaty of Paris, signed on February 10, 1763, ended the
French and Indian War, which in turn was the North American extension of the Seven Years' War.

The European disagreements were covered by the Treaty of Hubertusburg, which was signed five days after the Treaty of Paris.

 

The treaty leaves the power of Prussia increased, and its military reputation greatly exalted.

France, by the treaty of Paris, ceded to England Canada, and the island of Cape Breton, with the islands and coasts of the gulf and river of St. Lawrence.

The boundaries between the two nations in North America were fixed by a line drawn along the middle of the Mississippi, from its source to its mouth. All on the left or eastern bank of that river, was given up to England, except the city of New Orleans, which was reserved to France; as was also the liberty of the fisheries on a part of the coasts of Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The islands of St. Peter and Miquelon were given them as a shelter for their fishermen, but without permission to raise fortifications. The islands of Martinico, Guadaloupe, Mariegalante, Desirada, and St. Lucia, were surrender to France; while Grenada, the Grenadines, St. Vincent, Dominica, and Tobago, were ceded to England.

England retained her conquests on the Senegal, and restored to France the island of Goree, on the coast of Africa.

France was put in possession of the forts and factories which belonged to her in the East Indies, on the coasts of Coromandel, Orissa, Malabar, and Bengal, under the restriction of keeping up no military force in Bengal.

In Europe, France restored all the conquests she had made in Germany; as also the islands of Minorca.

England gave up to France Belleisle, on the coast of Brittany; while Dunkirk was kept in the same condition as had been determined by the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle.

The island of Cuba was restored to the King of Spain, who, on his part, ceded to England Florida, with Port-Augustine and the Bay of Pensacola.

The King of Portugal was restored to the same state in which he had been before the war. The colony of St. Sacrament in America, which the Spaniards had conquered, was given back to him.

 

The Peace of Paris was the era of England's greatest prosperity. England's commerce and navigation extended over all parts of the globe, and were supported by a naval force so much the more imposing, as it was no longer counterbalanced by the maritime power of France, which had been almost annihilated in the preceding war.

The immense territories which that peace had secured for England, both in Africa and America, opened up new channels for her industry; and what deserves specially to be remarked is, that England acquired at the same time vast and important possessions in the East Indies.
