Question

which choice most accurately describes the consequences that france faced after the seven years war?
the french were pushed out of the ohio river valley, and their lands were given to the british.
the french gave up their colonies west of the mississippi and canada to britain, and they gave new orleans to spain.
the french were pushed out of the contiguous united states, and their lands were given to the british.
the french gave up their colonies east of the mississippi and canada to britain, and they gave new orleans to spain.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Paris (1763) ended the Seven Years' War. Under this treaty, France ceded Canada and all its territories east of the Mississippi River to Britain. To compensate Spain for its losses, France transferred New Orleans and its territories west of the Mississippi to Spain. The other options are incorrect: the first two misstate the geographic scope of the land cessions, and the third incorrectly claims France was pushed out of the contiguous US entirely.

Answer:

D. The French gave up their colonies east of the Mississippi and Canada to Britain, and they gave New Orleans to Spain.
