Answer:

The Treaty of Paris was the culmination of the American Revolution, where the 13 Colonies won independence from Great Britain. It was signed in 1783 in Paris, by representatives of the United States of America (Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay) and representatives of King Charles III.

Great Britain saw an opportunity to stop spending money and resources on the war while maintaining a trade alliance with the colonies that would benefit them, so The Crown agreed to recognize the 13 Colonies as a newly independent nation, the United States of America.

They ensured peace by establishing certain articles that benefited both countries, for example; all prisoners from both sides were to be released, properties of the Loyalists were to be returned, both countries would have access to the Mississippi River. The Treaty of Paris also established the boundaries for the United States of America and British North America.

but put it in your own word's, Hope this helps, Good Luck :D ;P
