In the Peace of Paris (1763), which territory did England gain as part of the settlement?

Florida Louisiana Newfoundland Guiana

Correct Answer:

Florida

Explanation:

Territorial changes after a major war and how colonies were redistributed. The Peace of Paris in 1763 ended the Seven Years' War and redrew North American holdings. Britain gained Florida from Spain, reflecting a swap that strengthened Britain's control on the Gulf Coast and in the eastern regions. Newfoundland had already been British for decades, so it wasn’t a new acquisition. Louisiana went to Spain, and France’s lands east of the Mississippi were ceded to Britain, leaving New Orleans under Spanish control. Guiana was not part of this settlement. So, the territory Britain gained was Florida.
