When did Britain take control of Acadia?

Britain took control of Acadia at several points throughout the 17th and 18th centuries due to ongoing territorial disputes with France.

While English forces briefly held the region from 1654 to 1670, the definitive shift toward British control began during the War of the Spanish Succession. On October 16, 1710, the British captured Port-Royal, and the subsequent Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 formally ceded Nova Scotia to Great Britain.

The remaining French-held territories in the region, including Île Saint-Jean (now Prince Edward Island) and Cape Breton Island, were formally transferred to British rule in 1763 at the conclusion of the French and Indian War. Following these events, the province of New Brunswick was eventually separated from Nova Scotia in 1784.1
