Today we are going to look at "Don't Know Much About History"
Though
most of the fighting ended on the 8th of September, 1760, the war
officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on February 10,
1763. Although the war itself stemmed from a fairly simple motivation,
its consequences were far- reaching. The French Indian War outcome
decided the colonial fate of North America, and yet at the same time
sowed the seeds of the eventual colonial revolution.
The Most
Important French Indian War outcome resulted in France’s loss of all its
North American possessions east of the Mississippi, except Saint Pierre
and Miquelon, (two small islands off Newfoundland). France recovered
the Caribbean Islands and Martinique, which were formerly occupied by
British.
