<span>From 1774 to 1789, the Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States. The First Continental Congress, which was comprised of delegates from the colonies, met in 1774 in reaction to the Coercive Acts, a series of measures imposed by the British government on the colonies in response to their resistance to new taxes. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress convened after the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) had already begun. In 1776, it took the momentous step of declaring America’s independence from Britain. Five years later, the Congress ratified the first national constitution, the Articles of Confederation, under which the country would be governed until 1789, when it was replaced by the current U.S. Constitution.</span>
The Treaty of Paris signed in 1763, was the end of the "French-Indian war", a conflict which took place among three major powers at the time : France, Britain and Spain which fought for the colonies in North America. These powers had Native American tribes allied with each one of them and it is called "French - Indian War" because the British considered the French and the Natives to be their enemies.
Spain might have contemplated this as a victory as it expanded its territories to the east, adding territories to their already vast empire of South and Central America. France basically lost their territories in North America,and their interest of exploiting natural resources such as furs. Finally, although British and Americans expanded their territories to the west, this entreprise was greatly expensive for Britain.
