The significance of the Treaty of Paris in relation to Canada’s borders lies in its role in defining territorial boundaries following the American Revolutionary War. Signed in 1783, the treaty established boundaries between British North America and the United States, recognizing Canada’s territorial claims and setting the stage for its future expansion. This agreement formalized Britain’s control over Canada and created a framework that would later be relevant in the discussions of Canadian confederation. It laid the groundwork for Canada’s growth and development as an independent entity in the Americas.
