About this listen

 In the final episode, Alex Calder examines how the war's conclusion in the 1763 Treaty of Paris redrew North America's map and unleashed consequences that continue to shape our world. The episode explores Britain's challenges in governing its vastly expanded empire, including the controversial Royal Proclamation Line and the Quebec Act, and how the financial burden of victory led directly to the taxation policies that sparked the American Revolution. Alex reveals how the war transformed the thirteen colonies militarily, psychologically, and economically, while examining its devastating impact on Native American nations. The episode concludes by considering how differently North America might have developed had the outcome been different, arguing that this conflict was as consequential as the American Revolution that followed.
