Britain and France had been at war with one another for decades, off and on for centuries. Supremacy in Europe was their larger issue. Canada just happened to be a relatively minor battleground in their ongoing struggle.

Who gained control of Canada and Florida as a result of treaty or pairs?

Control of Canada and Florida shifted to Great Britain as a result of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which concluded the Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War in North America). Under this treaty, France ceded Canada and Florida to Britain, significantly expanding British territorial claims in North America. This marked a pivotal moment in colonial history, leading to increased tensions between Britain and its American colonies.


Why was the Battle of Saratoga the most significant moment in bringing about victory in America's war for independence?

The battle of Saratoga was very important for a number of reasons. First, it convinced France that America was capable of and might just win the war against Great Britain. Because of that, France allied itself with America and committed its navy to America. Without that navy America could not have won at Yorktown. Second, it resulted in a large British army being destroyed so the British were no longer a threat in that area. And, it prevented the British from seizing control of the Hudson River. If the British had control of the Hudson, they would have split the colonies in two and perhaps conquered each part one at a time.Hope that helps!(:
