Seven Yearsâ War
Frederick II leading his Prussian troops against Russians at the Battle of Zorndorf during the Seven Years' War, August 25, 1758.
Under the 1763 Treaty of Paris, which concluded the Seven Yearsâ War, France ceded the following Caribbean islands to Great Britain:
- Grenada
- Saint Vincent
- Dominica
- Tobago1
It is important to note that while these islands were ceded to Britain, the treaty also involved significant territorial exchanges elsewhere. For instance, Britain restored several other islands to France, including Guadeloupe, Martinique, Marie-Galante, and Désirade, and ceded Saint Lucia to the French as part of the broader diplomatic settlement.1
