As part of the Anglo-Spanish agreement in the Treaty of Paris (1783), the British returned the Mediterranean island of Minorca to Spain, and more importantly the British claim to East Florida and West Florida (now the southeastern US).

The British had received Florida from Spain twenty years earlier (1763) after the Seven Years War. The US gradually annexed Florida after the War of 1812 and purchased the remainder under the Adams-Onis Treaty in 1819.

As part of the 1783 treaty, Spain ceded Providence Island and the remainder of the Bahamas to the British.
