The Treaty of Utrecht

The Treaty of Utrecht was a treaty signed between France and England and other European powers. The treaty ended the war of Spanish Succession. It was signed on April 11, 1713 and was signed in the city of Utrecht in Netherlands as it was found as neutral ground. The impact of the treaty has a long list but one of the most important parts of it was that is legitimated the sovereign of Queen Anne being the Queen of England. For several years, France has publicly said that the English throne belonged to the house of Jacobite instead of the house of Stuart that Queen Anne was apart of. They stated that the Queen is illegitimated but after the treaty, they took out those claims. More impact of the treaty is that of land disputes and changes in North America.

As you can see in the picture, North America changed a lot with Britain gaining huge amount of land near Hudson Bay called Rupert's Land and their American Colonies. The impact of the treaty are in huge amounts so you can find them here.
