The Treaty of Hubertusburg, signed on 15 February1763, together with the Treaty of Paris signed on 10 February1763, marked the end of the French and Indian War and of the Seven Years' War. Specifically, the Treaty of Hubertusburg ended the continental conflict with no significant changes in prewar borders. Silesia remained Prussian, and Prussia clearly stood among the ranks of the great powers.
The Treaty of Hubertusburg (German: Friede zu Hubertusburg) was signed by Prussia, Austria and Saxony.
The Treaty of Paris, often called the Peace of Paris, or the Treaty of 1763 was signed on February 10, 1763, by the Kingdom of Great Britain, France and Spain with Portugal in agreement.
Britain confirmed in the treaty the rights of its new citizens to practice the Roman Catholic religion and received confirmation of the continuation of the British king's right as an Elector of the Holy Roman Empire.
Such a renunciation is nowhere in the text of the treaty, and in fact George III continued to be styled "King of France" and used the fleurs-de-lis as part of his arms until 1801 when Britain and Ireland united.
