When did the Acadians begin living under British rule?

The Acadians began living under British rule in 1710, when the British captured Port Royal, the capital of Acadia, during the War of the Spanish Succession. This marked the start of British control over the region, although many Acadians continued to live there under varying degrees of autonomy and governance. The situation for the Acadians worsened significantly in the mid-18th century, culminating in the Great Expulsion of 1755.
