The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1763, ended the Seven Years' War, known in North America as the French and Indian War. Under the terms of the treaty, France ceded all of its North American territories east of the Mississippi River to Great Britain. This stripped France of its considerable colonial possessions in North America, leaving it with only a few small islands and colonies in the Caribbean. As a result, France's power and influence on the North American continent were significantly diminished.
