New France (French: Nouvelle-France) was the area colonized by France in North America during a period extending from the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River, by Jacques Cartier in 1534, to the cession of New France to Spain and Britain in 1763. At its peak in 1712 (before the Treaty of Utrecht), the territory of New France extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. The territory was then divided in five colonies, each with its own administration: Canada, Acadia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland (Plaisance),[1] and Louisiana. The Treaty of Utrecht resulted in the relinquishing of French claims to mainland Acadia, the Hudson Bay and Newfoundland colonies, and the establishment of the colony of Île Royale (Cape Breton Island) as the successor to Acadia.[2][3]
France ceded the rest of New France to Great Britain and Spain at the Treaty of Hubertusburg, which ended the Seven Years War (the French and Indian War). Britain received all lands east of the Mississippi River, including Canada, Acadia, and parts of Louisiana, while Spain received the territory to the west - the larger portion of Louisiana. Spain returned its portion of Louisiana to France in 1800, but the French sold it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, permanently ending French colonial efforts on the North American mainland.

The British established 13 colonies along North America's east coast, collectively known as the Thirteen Colonies. These colonies eventually formed the foundation of the United States.
