Because the English sugar lobby feared the competition that the Caribbean Islands would bring to the industry, they convinced the English government to give the Islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Lucia 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 [[Spain]].
