Treaty of Paris 1783

The Treaty of Paris 1783 was the agreement that officially ended the American Revolutionary War between Great Britain and the United States. It recognized American independence and set the boundaries of the new nation, giving the U.S. territory from the Atlantic coast westward to the Mississippi River, and from Canada in the north to Florida in the south. The treaty also addressed issues like debt payments and the rights of Loyalists. It marked the start of independent American sovereignty and laid the foundation for the nation’s future expansion and development.
