The Definitive Treaty of Peace and Friendship Between His Britannick Majesty, and the Most Christian King
Publisher
T. Harrison and S. Brooke, Warwick-Lane
Date
1783
Description
"The Definitive Treaty of Peace and Friendship marks the formal conclusion of the American Revolutionary War between Great Britain and France. Signed on September 3, 1783, this treaty ended hostilities between the two nations and established terms for peace, solidifying the alliance France had forged with the American colonies during their fight for independence from Britain.
While the treaty primarily focused on the cessation of hostilities and the delineation of borders between British and French territories, it also had significant implications for the broader geopolitical landscape, including the future of the French monarchy and the burgeoning French Republic. The treaty was part of a series of peace agreements that included separate negotiations between Britain and the United States, as well as Spain. It marked the beginning of a new balance of power in Europe and laid the groundwork for future conflicts, including those that would arise from the French Revolution and its aftermath."
