The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1783, officially ended the American Revolutionary War, recognizing the independence of the United States. Great Britain acknowledged American sovereignty and ceded territory east of the Mississippi River to the new nation. The treaty also addressed issues such as the withdrawal of British troops and the rights of Loyalists. This agreement marked a significant shift in the balance of power in North America and set the stage for future U.S. expansion.
