The French lost Acadia to the British primarily due to ongoing conflicts in North America, particularly the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The British sought to expand their territories and perceived Acadia as strategically important. In 1710, during the War of the Spanish Succession, British forces captured Port Royal, the capital of Acadia, which marked the beginning of British dominance in the region. Subsequent treaties and military campaigns solidified British control, leading to the eventual formal cession of Acadia in the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
