The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III of Britain and primarily affected territories in North America, specifically the land acquired by Britain from France following the French and Indian War (1754–1763). The proclamation established a boundary, known as the Proclamation Line, that restricted colonial expansion westward beyond the Appalachian Mountains. This was intended to stabilize relations with Native Americans and to reduce conflicts over land. The Proclamation was significant in shaping colonial policy and the relationship between Britain and its American colonies.
