The Treaty of Paris ended the Seven Years' War globally. France ceded all of Canada and all territory east of the Mississippi River to Britain. France gave Louisiana (the vast territory west of the Mississippi) to Spain. Britain returned Cuba and the Philippines to Spain, and Martinique and Guadeloupe to France. In one treaty, the entire balance of power in North America was redrawn.
