What statement best describes the change in french land holdings from 1682 to 1763?

From 1682 to 1763, French land holdings in North America expanded significantly, particularly with the establishment of New France, which included vast territories stretching from Canada down to the Mississippi River. However, following the French and Indian War, France ceded much of its North American territories to Britain in 1763, leading to a dramatic reduction in French land holdings. This shift marked a significant decline in French influence on the continent. Overall, the period saw initial expansion followed by substantial territorial loss.

The surrender was part of a larger conflict between France and England, leading to the temporary loss of French territories in North America. Champlain was instrumental in establishing French presence in Canada, and his return to Europe was a setback for his efforts to solidify French claims in the New World. He would later return to Canada, continuing his work in exploration and settlement.
