There exist two version of the Treaty of Paris. The first, Tratado definitivo de paz concluido entre el Rey Nuestro Señor y S.M. Christianisima por una parte, y S.M. Britanica por otre, was concluded between Englandon one side and France and Spain on the other side. This led to the decision of the King of Portugal to accede to this treaty the same day, which resulted in our treaty. Together with the treaty of Hubertusburg, the Treaty of Paris terminated the Seven Years War. France lost its possessions on the North American continent by ceding them to Great Britain and Spain, in compensation for Florida, which Spain yielded to Great Britain. France retained its territories in the West Indies from Great Britain, in exchange for which it ceded Grenada and the Grenadines to the English. In East India the French were permitted to return to their posts, but India passed to Great Britain. In Africa France yielded Senegal to Great Britain. Cuba and the Philippines were restored to Spain. In Europe the French and Spanish returned Minorca to Great Britain, and France withdrew its troops from Germany. This treaty was to become the firm basis for English maritime supremacy and Great Britain's Sea-born Empire. Fine copy.
