The historical document that ended the American Revolutionary War is the Treaty of Paris, signed in 1783. This treaty officially recognized the independence of the United States and established boundaries for the new nation. The agreement was negotiated by American representatives Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams, and it provided significant territorial gains for the U.S., stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. The Treaty of Paris marked the end of British colonial rule and laid the groundwork for the establishment of the United States as an independent sovereign state.
