At the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, Great Britain gained significant territorial possessions, including Canada and Florida, as well as dominance over vast territories in North America. The Treaty of Paris, which ended the war, also resulted in France ceding its claims to land east of the Mississippi River to Britain. This expansion solidified Britain's position as a major global power but also set the stage for tensions with American colonists due to new taxation and governance issues.
Britain claimed all of North America east of the Mississippi River, this also included Florida, which britain acquired from Spain, an ally of France.
