When were Territorial rights first guaranteed?

  1. 1492

  2. 1607

  3. 1763

  4. 1867

The correct answer is: 1763

Territorial rights were first guaranteed in 1763 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Seven Years' War. 1492 marks the beginning of Columbus' voyage to the new lands, but no formal agreements were made at that time. In 1607, the Plymouth Company established the first permanent settlement at Jamestown. In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia, but this did not guarantee any new territorial rights as it was already inhabited by native peoples. Therefore, the correct option is C.
