a. england would not allow the colonists to settle in the new land.

b. england allowed spain to build missions in the new land.

c. england quickly gave the new land back to the french.

d. england forced the colonists to create farms on the new land.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: After the 1763 Treaty of Paris, England issued the Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains (the new land gained). This restriction angered colonists who wanted to expand, contributing to independence desires.
• Option B: The treaty transferred land from France to England, and Spain's missions were not a factor in colonial independence desires related to this treaty's land gain.
• Option C: England gained land from France, not quickly giving it back.
• Option D: England restricted settlement, not forced colonists to farm there.

Answer:

A. England would not allow the colonists to settle in the new land.
