The Treaty of Utrecht in 1713

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Treaty of Utrecht transferred significant territory from the French to the English in North America, including Acadia (present-day Nova Scotia), Newfoundland, and the Hudson Bay region. It also solidified English control over the lucrative slave trade from Africa to Spanish America. While it did bring an end to King William's War, it did not significantly slow England's western expansion of its American colonies. The treaty was not a considerable victory for Spain in North America, as they were largely focused on European affairs at the time. Additionally, it did not transfer territory from the English to the French in the Caribbean.
