How did the Treaty of Paris of 1763 transfer New France to Great Britain?

The Treaty of Paris, signed on February 10, 1763, formally concluded the French and Indian War and resulted in the transfer of New France to Great Britain.12

Under the terms of the treaty, France ceded to Great Britain all of its mainland North American territories located east of the Mississippi River, with the exception of New Orleans and its environs. This cession effectively ended France’s status as a major political and military power on the North American continent.12

While France retained only the small islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon near Newfoundland and specific fishing rights, more than 60,000 French Canadians residing in the territory that became the province of Quebec transitioned to being British subjects.34
