The collective name for the 1783 peace treaties that ended the American Revolutionary War is the Peace of Paris.
The settlement included the Treaty of Paris between Great Britain and the United States, signed on September 3, 1783. Separate treaties were concluded at Versailles between Britain and France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic. Together, these agreements are known as the Peace of Paris.
The American treaty recognized the United States as free, sovereign, and independent. It also established boundaries that extended the new nation westward to the Mississippi River, northward to the Great Lakes, and southward to Spanish Florida.
The Treaty of Paris is often used as shorthand for the whole settlement, but the terms are not identical. “Peace of Paris” refers to the complete group of treaties, while “Treaty of Paris (1783)” specifically identifies the Anglo-American agreement. The settlement followed preliminary articles signed in November 1782.
