On September 3, 1783, officials of King George III of Great Britain and delegates of the United States of America negotiated the
Treaty of Paris in Paris, thereby ending the American Revolutionary War. The agreement established the borders between the British Government in Northern America and the United States of
America, with the former receiving '
exceptionally favorable' terms. Fishing grounds, asset recovery, and captured soldiers were among the provisions.
The Peace of Paris refers to this agreement, as well as the independent peace agreements between British Empire and the
countries who backed the American cause—France, Spanish, and also the Dutch Republic. Only Section 1 of the Treaty of Versailles, which defines the United States as a liberated, democratic, and autonomous state, is still in effect.

War.
