In the Seven Years' war, the French and British fought over
the possession of North America. Battles were won and lost on both sides. When
Britain gained control of India from the hands of French, they proceeded to
take hold of Canada. The war was starting to favor Britain. France sought
reconciliation but British Prime Minister William Pitt wanted the French give
up Canada to them along with other propositions. Negotiations failed and war
ensued again. Flash forward to 1763 and the Treaty of Paris, the British
finally achieved to have the claims for North America.
