a) Redistribution of colonial territories
b) Recognition of British supremacy
c) Recognition of French supremacy
d) Establishment of peace and new boundaries

Answer 1

The Treaty of Paris (1763) accomplished two main things: the redistribution of colonial territories and the recognition of British supremacy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Treaty of Paris in 1763 accomplished two main things:

1. Redistribution of colonial territories: The treaty awarded the British everything east of the Mississippi River, including Spanish Florida. This made Great Britain the uncontested European power in eastern North America.
2. Recognition of British supremacy: The treaty recognized the British as the dominant power in North America, establishing peace and new boundaries.

This treaty ended the French and Indian War and had significant consequences for the North American map.
