No, it was ketchup mustard bottles they wouldn’t share.

They were fighting because Britain had too many bottles of mustard and they wouldn’t share.

In reply to Peter Karl. Just because it did not elaborate on the process of the treaty being signed doesn't mean it is not reality. If you got the bigger picture, this was written to tell about the territorial changes that happened due to the treaty. Otherwise, I agree with your facts and opinions.

I am rather baffled with the history I read, especially since the French Government never signed this treaty which was only written by King George II of Great Britain. You must recall how this treaty was written in Versailles on Jan. 20th; signed on Feb. 14th but yet was not passed until Nov. 13th which was after the British forces had already taken Florida from the Spanish. which was why Chares III of Spain was so happy to agree with King George II even though there was no legal reality to this acclaimed document. In all actuality, King George made an attempt to take hold of what he already had taken but had no legal rights to since he his Empire had obtained it all through massive killing and thoughtless murder. As for the British taking Canada (or New France as it was called back then), that had already happened in july of 1759 with the British taking the City of Niagara for the control of French commerce and then they finished the downfall of New France with taking of Quebec in 1689.
In my opinion, What you are teaching is not reality .
