France did not manage to keep its territories in North America and India; instead, it lost significant holdings in both regions during the 18th century. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 resulted in France ceding Canada and its territories east of the Mississippi River to Britain, while Spain acquired Louisiana. In India, France faced defeat in the Anglo-French rivalry, losing much of its influence and territory to the British by the end of the 18th century. Consequently, France's colonial presence in these regions diminished significantly.
