The British gained Florida as a result

Spain took the regretful choice to ally with France toward the conclusion of the war. They entered the fight in January 1762, but the British had already proven to be unbeatable.

The Spanish had started to settle in Florida in the 1500s, but the 1763 Treaty of Paris effectively ended France's dominion over North America. Despite gaining control of Louisiana, which the French had secretly given it in the Treaty of Fontainebleau the year before, Spain, which had allied with France in 1762, was compelled to hand over Florida to the British. As a result, the British gained Florida from Spain.

Thanks to the American Revolution, Spain would regain Florida 20 years later, but would soon lose it once more, permanently.
