Sommario/riassunto |
|
More American territory changed hands in 1763 than in any international agreement before or since. Part of the ""Pivotal Moments in American History"" series, this volume surveys the transformation of the continent following the Peace of Paris, which ensured British dominance in North America but set the colonies on the road to revolution. |
