1763 - The French lose the French and Indian War (also known as the Seven Years' War) to the British. The British gain control of all the French lands in Canada as a result.

In 1763, the French lost the French and Indian War (also known as the Seven Years' War) to the British, resulting in the British gaining control of all the French lands in Canada.

This was a major turning point in Canadian history as it shifted the power dynamic in the region from French to British rule.

The British were granted a large territory of land, including parts of modern-day Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

As part of the terms of surrender, the French had to swear allegiance to the British Crown and the French language was no longer the official language.

The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III to establish the governance of the newly acquired lands and assert the power of the British Crown in North America.

The proclamation also set aside land for the Indigenous peoples, who had been allies of the French during the war.

The Proclamation of 1763 also set the stage for the eventual creation of the Province of Canada in 1867, which was the precursor to the modern-day country of Canada.
