The British gained control of New France primarily through military conflict during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), known in North America as the French and Indian War. The war culminated in the British victory at the Battle of Quebec in 1759, which was a decisive turning point. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 formally ceded New France to Britain, significantly expanding British territory in North America. This transition led to the establishment of British colonial governance in the region.
