The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1783, officially ended the American Revolutionary War and recognized the independence of the United States. Major points included the establishment of U.S. borders, granting the territory from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to Florida. The treaty also addressed fishing rights and the restoration of property to Loyalists, although many provisions regarding Loyalists were not fully enforced. Additionally, it marked a significant diplomatic achievement for the newly formed United States, establishing its sovereignty on the global stage.
