The significance of the treaty that ended the American Revolutionary War is encapsulated in the Treaty of Paris 1783. This treaty formally recognized the independence of the United States from Great Britain, establishing the nation's boundaries and granting it control over territory stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. The treaty also addressed issues such as fishing rights and the restoration of loyalist property. By securing American sovereignty and laying the groundwork for future governance and expansion, the Treaty of Paris was pivotal in shaping the early identity of the United States and its emergence on the global stage.
