The Treaty of Paris of 1763 ended the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War between Great Britain and France, as well as their respective allies. In the terms of the treaty, France gave up all its territories in mainland North America, effectively ending any foreign military threat to the British colonies there.

So your answer is B

Answer:

The correct answer is B. According to the Treaty of Paris that ended the French and Indian War in 1763, the French gave Great Britain their empire in North America.

Step-by-step explanation:

The French and Indian War officially ended on February 10, 1763 by the Treaty of Paris. The treaty was signed by the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Portugal.

By this treaty France lost all its North American possessions since it accepted the British control of Canada and granted the dominion of Luisiana to Spain in compensation by the loss of Florida, that had to yield to the United Kingdom. However, it should be noted that France had already ceded Louisiana to Spain in 1762 by the Treaty of Fontainebleau although it was not made public until 1763. The Treaty of Paris simply served to ratify it.

France was proposed to renounce New France or its Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. Without hesitation it preferred to recover the two sugar producing islands, whose productivity was much higher than that developed in Canada.
