British military regime in New France

The British military regime in New France was the British army's occupation of New France from 1759 to 1763 as part of its Conquest of New France. Between 1760, following the surrender of Montreal, and 1763, when the colonial province of Quebec (1763-1791) was created, a temporary military regime administered the colony of Canada.

The military regime officially ended following the enactment of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War and created the province of Quebec – a new colony in British North America. However, it was not until August 10, 1764, that this military regime was replaced by a civilian regime, because of the 18-month delay allowed by the ratification of the Treaty of Paris.
