Plains of Abraham

Ending

In 1763, the French and British signed the Treaty of Paris. The French gave up all of Canada to Britain. Thanks to this treaty, Britain now controlled a vast empire in North America that included the 13 Colonies. In return for giving up Canada, the French were given the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. And the British gave back the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. The Battle of the Plains of Abraham ultimately led to the Treaty of Paris. Thus, this battle was one of the most important events in Canadian history.
