The major conflict ended by the Treaty of Paris in 1783 was the American Revolutionary War. This treaty formally recognized the independence of the thirteen American colonies from British rule. It established new borders and set the stage for the United States as a sovereign nation. The negotiations were heavily influenced by American representatives, including Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, and involved significant diplomatic efforts. The treaty not only concluded military hostilities but also led to territorial gains for the United States, ultimately impacting the geopolitical landscape in North America and inspiring other independence movements worldwide.
