In what year was the Treaty of Paris signed, marking the official end of the Revolutionary War?

The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, marking the official end of the American Revolutionary War. This treaty was significant because it recognized the independence of the United States and established borders for the new nation. Negotiated by American representatives, including Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, it formalized the break from British rule and laid the groundwork for future U.S. territory expansion.

The year 1781 is associated with the decisive victory at the Battle of Yorktown, which effectively ended major combat operations, but it was not the formal conclusion of the war. The years 1789 and 1791 are well after the treaty and are instead significant for the establishment of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, respectively.
