Solution 1
According to the Treaty of Paris signed in 1783 between the British government and the colonists, the British government recognized the independence of the thirteen colonies which came to be known as the United States of America.
Solution 2
The Treaty of Paris (1783) officially ended the American Revolutionary War, forcing King George III to recognize the United States as a free and independent nation. The treaty granted the U.S. highly generous borders, extending its territory west to the Mississippi River and effectively doubling the size of the new nation. It also secured vital American fishing rights off the Canadian coast and called for the fair treatment of British loyalists and pre-war debts. Long-term, this agreement paved the way for massive American westward expansion while devastating Native American tribes whose lands were ceded without their consent. Finally, the immense financial strain of the war crippled France’s treasury, inadvertently helping to spark the French Revolution just a few years later.
