September 3, 1783: The Treaty of Paris was signed ending the American Revolutionary War


The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783, at the Hôtel d'York (located at present-day 56 Rue Jacob) in Paris, France. This historic document officially ended the American Revolutionary War and marked a pivotal turning point in global history. [1, 2, 3]


Key Details & Outcomes
  • The Signers: The treaty was negotiated and signed by American statesmen Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, alongside British representative David Hartley. [1]
  • Recognition of Sovereignty: Great Britain formally recognized the former 13 colonies as a free, sovereign, and independent nation. [1, 2]
  • New Borders: It established generous boundaries for the new nation, expanding U.S. territory from the Atlantic Ocean west to the Mississippi River, and from Canada south to Florida. [1]
  • The Peace of Paris: On the exact same day, Great Britain signed separate peace agreements with Spain and France at Versailles. Together with a preliminary treaty with the Netherlands, these agreements are collectively known as the Peace of Paris. [1, 2]
  • Ratification: The Congress of the Confederation later ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784, officially solidifying the birth of the United States. [1]
