New France
In 1763, France had ceded the rest of New France, except the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, to Great Britain and Spain at the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Seven Years' War (known as the French and Indian War in North America and especially the United States). Britain received Canada, Acadia, and the parts of French Louisiana which lay east of the Mississippi Riverexcept for the Île d'Orléans, which was granted to Spain, along with the territory to the westthe larger portion of Louisiana.
Ourehouare
Ourehouare died in 1698. He was buried with full military honours. Had the elevation of war continued, it would have bankrupted New France and may have led to the abandonment of the colony which would have changed the course of North American history. There would have been an Indian power base allied to the English north of the future New England. At the time the French area of control included the Mississippi and Ohio valleys which may have stayed under Indian control. The potential impact on history would be myriad and effects the very existence of the American colonies.
