The Peace of Utrecht in 1713 resulted in France ceding Acadia to Britain, significantly altering the lives of Acadians and Aboriginal Peoples in the region. The Acadians faced increased pressure to pledge loyalty to the British Crown, leading to tensions and eventual deportations during the Great Expulsion of the 1750s. For Aboriginal Peoples, the treaty marked a shift in power dynamics, as British expansion encroached on their lands and resources, further diminishing their autonomy and influence in Acadia. Overall, the treaty set the stage for significant cultural and demographic changes in the region.
