what is the importance of the treaty of paris — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.71.201.2 ( talk) 14:32, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
There should be some discussion of the Treaty of Fontainebleau, a secret treaty by which France ceded the Louisiana Territory to Spain in November 1762. France saw that it was losing the war and negotiated this treaty with Spain. The cession was recognized later. The article currently says that Spain gained these after the Treaty of Paris. I'm not familiar enough with this complex set of treaties and negotiations to venture a revision. For references, see for example [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] older ≠ wiser 12:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Although some discussion of the Treaty of Fontainebleau (1762) has been added to this page about the Treaty of Paris (1763), the "complex set of treaties and negotiations" seems to be difficult to summarize. There's more on the Treaty of Fontainebleau (1762) and Napoleon's secret Third Treaty of San Ildefonso 1800 on the page about the Louisiana Purchase 1803--including the following summary: "Throughout the second half of the 18th century, Louisiana was a pawn on the chessboard of European politics.[4]".

"Preferring to keep Guadaloupe, France gave up New France and all of its claims to the territory east of the Mississippi River to Britain." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.202.137.153 ( talk) 01:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I have absolutely no clue about this stuff...I am just looking on here about History homework!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.138.15.3 ( talk) 23:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
On February 10,1783 the Treaty of Paris was signed. Benjamin West, John Jay, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Laurens, and William Temple Franklin signed it and celebrated. The Treaty of Paris was a document which stated that as the point at which France conveyed Louisiana Territory to Spain. The Treaty of Paris was to give Britain the east side of the Mississippi (including Baton Rouge, Louisiana which was to be part of the British territory of West Florida). New Orleans on the east side was given to France. The Mississippi River corridor in what is modern day Louisiana was to be reunited following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.45.102 ( talk) 17:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't see how Pitt could have been a former prime minister since he was not PM until 1766. Is the rest of the line about him right? Also it probably should call him Pitt the Elder and Pitt on its own normaly refers to Pitt the Younger. (Pitt the Elder is normal called the Earl of Chatham but that does not happen until 1766) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.35.191.3 ( talk) 10:27, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
The text here is going overboard about the supposed magnaminity of the British. In the 18th century, it was common for countries to return much of their conquests at the negotiating table. France, for example, had given back the entire Austrian Netherlands in the peace negotiations in 1748. In this treaty, Britain pretty much kept everything it wanted (eastern North America, India) and gave back a few colonies it deemed of lesser importance. 108.254.160.23 ( talk) 21:27, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
I have trimmed one sentence which said members of parliament who opposed the treaty were dismissed from office, since this claim is not mentioned in the source listed (Fowler's book). Asburyparker ( talk) 20:13, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
I also took out a phrase about Winston Churchill because it was pointless to the article, and not based on a source. Asburyparker ( talk) 20:45, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
What is that blue extending to Alberta and Saskatchewan ???? If there were any Europeans, they were French, no British. See the La Vérendrye brothers and a French fort close to the Rockies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.143.217.186 ( talk) 16:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Exactly where in Paris was the treaty signed? Please specify the name of the building and street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.28.162.13 ( talk) 10:11, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
