The significant effect of the Treaty of Paris (1763) after the French and Indian War was that France ceded most of its North American territories to Great Britain. This greatly reduced France's influence in North America and marked the end of its colonial ambitions on the continent. Additionally, France lost Canada and all its territories east of the Mississippi River, while Spain, an ally of France, gained control of Louisiana. France's focus shifted more towards its empire in the Caribbean and its possessions in Central and South America following this treaty.
