The main dispute in the writing of the treaty concerned the ownership of sugar producing [[Caribbean]] Islands. Britten had used the French and Indian war to seize the Islands of St Vincent, the  Grenadines, Tobago, Domica, St Lucia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and St Lucia.

Because the English sugar lobby faired that competition the Caribbean Islands would bring to the industry, they convinced the English government to give the Islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Lucai back to France. In exchange France gave England control of [[Canada]], [[Nova Scotia]] and their claims to the [[Ohio]] Valley, Thus leading to the deal being coined, ‘Snow for Sugar’.  To appease the Spanish losses in [[Florida]], as a result of the war, France gave Cuba and Mandila to the [[Spain]].
