In the Revolutionary War history commemorated by America250, which 1783 treaty recognized U.S. independence?

The Treaty of Paris (1783) recognized United States independence and formally ended the American Revolutionary War.

Representatives of the United States and Great Britain signed the treaty in Paris on September 3, 1783. The American negotiators were Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John Jay, and Henry Laurens; David Hartley represented Britain. King George III later ratified the agreement.

The treaty established the new nation's boundaries, extending west to the Mississippi River, north to the Great Lakes, and south to Spanish Florida. It also granted American fishermen rights in waters near Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

The treaty ended the war diplomatically, but fighting and negotiations had already shaped the outcome. The British surrender at Yorktown in 1781 was the final major land victory, while peace talks continued afterward. The Treaty of Paris is sometimes confused with the broader Peace of Paris, which included separate agreements involving Britain, France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic.
