France lost all it's territory east of the Mississippi River in North America, plus everything it had previously held up in Canada, ending it's position as a major colonial power in the New World. Prussia became a serious contender in terms of the "Great European Powers" by holding the province of Silesia- which used to be Austria's. And England further shored up it's prominence as the world's leading colonial force by strengthening it's grip on land in India and North America.

Many would also argue that this was the first true "World War", as fighting ranged from Europe, Asia, to North America, and caused the death of between 900,000 and 1.4 million people. It was kind of a big deal.
