Question: Which 1763 treaty ended the Seven Years' War?

Answer options: ✅ Treaty of Paris

• Treaty of Versailles
• Treaty of Utrecht
• Royal Proclamation

Correct answer: Treaty of Paris

Explanation: The Treaty of Paris is correct because Great Britain and France signed it in 1763 to officially end the Seven Years' War, resulting in France ceding New France to Britain. In contrast, the Treaty of Utrecht was signed earlier in 1713, the Royal Proclamation was a British administrative decree issued after the war, and the Treaty of Versailles ended other conflicts like the American Revolutionary War and World War I. Under the official Discover Canada framework, understanding this transition of power is fundamental to Canadian constitutional history.
