Serious negotiations begin between Britain, France and…
December 1782 CE
Although a French naval expedition had destroyed British trading posts in Hudson Bay during the summer, no territory had actually been captured.
From time to time, news arrives from India of continuing stalemate, both in the land wars (which involve the French only as supporters to local rulers) and in naval battles; the British still appear to hold all the French territory there that they had captured in 1778–79, while the French hold no British territory.
In the West Indies, on the other hand, the French still hold all the territory they had captured, while the British hold only one French island, St. Lucia.
The Spanish hold West Florida, the Bahamas and Menorca, and they are still maintaining an increasingly futile siege of Gibraltar.
An attempt to exchange Puerto Rico for Gibraltar collapses, probably because it would have brought too much competition for Jamaican products into the protected British market.
