The signing of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War, occurred in 1783. This treaty formally recognized the independence of the thirteen American colonies from British rule and established boundaries for the new nation. Negotiated by key figures, including Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, the treaty marked a significant moment in history, transitioning the colonies into a sovereign entity. It established the framework for future relations between the United States and Britain and contributed to the reshaping of global politics at the time, influencing other independence movements worldwide.
