Peace of Paris (1783) 1 Peace of Paris (1783)
Peace of Paris (1783) 1 Peace of Paris (1783) The Peace of Paris (1783) was the set of treaties which ended the American Revolutionary War. On 3 September 1783, representatives of King George III of Great Britain signed a treaty in Paris with representatives of the United States of America—commonly known as the Treaty of Paris (1783)—and two treaties at Versailles with representatives of King Louis XVI of France and King Charles III of Spain—commonly known as the Treaties of Versailles (1783). The previous day, a preliminary treaty had been signed with representatives of the States General of the Dutch Republic, but the final treaty which ended the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War was not signed until 20 May 1784; for convenience, however, it is included in the summaries below. The British lost their Thirteen Colonies and the defeat marked the end of the First British Empire. The United States gained more than it expected, thanks to the award of western territory.[1] The other Allies had mixed-to-poor results. France won a propaganda victory over Britain after its defeat in the Seven Years War, however its material gains were minimal and its financial losses huge. It was already in financial trouble and its borrowing to pay for the war used up all its credit and created the financial disasters that marked the 1780s. Historians link those disasters to the coming of the French Revolution. The Dutch did not gain anything of significant value at the end of the war. The Spanish had a mixed result; they did not achieve their primary war goal of recovering Gibraltar, but they did gain some territory.

How to Index Conventions and Treaties
www.IndexingPartners.com Indexing A to Z How to Index Conventions and Treaties More and more in our globalized work, you will encounter references to conventions and treaties. It used to be that unless you were working on international law, you were unlikely to face references to these agreements, but now books that deal with feminism, human rights, employment issues, trade, children, war, business, etc. can all encompass conventions and treaties. They present the perfect examples of topics that demand multiple postings. First, they may have an issuing body like the United Nations or the World Trade Organization; second, they have a topic or maybe multiple topics to which they apply; third, they have formal names by which they are known; and fourth, they often have acronyms or nicknames by which they are commonly called. For me, they represent that category of entries called a “groaner” as they make you groan under all the labor of adding them to the index. Treaties When I was in grade school, I watched a lot of westerns on TV and thought of treaties as something the U.S. government made with Native American (Indian) tribes and then they smoked a “peace pipe.” In fact, most of the Indian wars did conclude in treaties (although I am not so sure about the smoking part) – I know that as I once indexed an entire volume devoted to these wars, and in the appendixes it reprinted all the treaties. Each conflict and disagreement had the potential of generating a treaty. I did not index the actual terms of each treaty, but considered each appendix (treaty) as one entity and made entries to it by its page range.

John Jay and the Treaty of Paris
John Jay and the Treaty of Paris John Jay’s role in ending the American Revolution is perhaps his most important accomplishment. For the Americans, the war for independence was about rights – no taxation without representation, and so forth. For the principal nations of Europe, however, the situation was about money and power. Colonies channeled enormous wealth into their parent nations. Great Britain was the most powerful nation on earth, and it derived much of its might from its American resources. The Declaration of Independence was an act of great courage. Our economic and governmental systems had been completely reliant on England. Success in breaking away would have been impossible without the help of at least one comparable superpower, to be a trading partner and a source of military and economic aid. France was the obvious nation to approach. France’s wars with England had dominated the eighteenth century, and it was only too happy for a chance to cut its principal adversary down to size. The French loaned the Patriots money, sold them armaments, and sent troops and battleships to the fighting. France’s help to the Americans inevitably led to direct conflict between Britain and France, and those countries soon declared war on each other. France wasn’t the only country that wanted revenge against England. Spain had lost Gibraltar to it in 1713, and Florida in 1763. The kings of Spain and France were cousins, and agreed to help each other fight the British. The French navy assisted Spain in trying to take back Gibraltar, and the Spanish helped the French in their war in return.

The Acadians the Acadians, Their Culture and Their Influence on Mount Desert
24 The Acadians The Acadians, Their Culture and Their Influence on Mount Desert Edited by Anne Mazlish* Origins of Acadia There are two theories regarding the origin of the name "Acadie" or "Acadia." One attributes it to the explorer Verrazano, who in 1524 named the coastline of the present-day Middle Atlantic states "Arcadie," in remembrance of a land of beauty and innocence celebrated in classical Greek poetry. The name "Arcadie" (with an "r") appears on various sixteenth-century maps of the east coast of North America and has been accepted by many historians as being the origin of the name "Acadie." The romantic associations of the term "Arcadie" likely explain why this theory has been widely published and is even found in recent scholarly works.1 The more plausible theory is that "Acadie" derives from a Micmac word rendered in French as "cadie," meaning a piece of land, generally with a favorable connotation.2 The word "-cadie" is found in many present-day place names such as Tracadie and Shubenacadie in the Canadian Mari times and Passamaquoddy, an English corruption of Passamacadie. Virtually all French references to Acadia from the time of the first significant contacts with the Micmacs use the form without the "r," "Acadie." The cartographic use of "Arcadie" for various parts of the east of eastern North America may have prepared the way for the acceptance of "cadie" from its Micmac source.3 Maine Acadian identity has evolved over several hundred years in response to changing political, economic, and social circumstances. While some aspects of their heritage are shared with other Acadian groups in North America, Maine Acadians maintain a distinctive ethnic culture of their own.

The Men Who Signed the Treaty of Paris
The Men Who Signed the Treaty of Paris October 3, 2008 The legacy of the Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783, has been much greater than was ever anticipated by its American and British negotiators. On October 3, A panel of historians discussed the treaty signers: Gregg L. Lint, editor of The Adams Papers, Massachusetts Historical Society; Carla Mulford, professor of English, Penn State University; and author of Benjamin Franklin and the Ends of Empire; Walter Stahr, author of John Jay; and William Anthony Hay, assistant professor, Mississippi State University, representing British signer David Hartley. Former Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein served as moderator, and the Librarian and Archivist of Canada Ian E. Wilson made opening remarks. This program was presented in partnership with the Embassy of Canada. ALLEN WEINSTEIN: Good evening. AUDIENCE: Good evening. WEINSTEIN: Thank you. Good evening. Actually, can I have that a little louder? Good evening. AUDIENCE: Good evening. WEINSTEIN: Better. Thank you. I'm Allen Weinstein. And the last time I looked, I was Archivist of the United States. And I hope that holds true for this panel. Welcome to the National Archives and to the William G. McGowan Theater. Tonight, we will discuss the men who, 225 years ago, signed the Treaty of Paris, the subject of the exhibit that opened here today in the O'Brien gallery upstairs, an exhibit which we call "1783: Subject or Citizen?" How many of you have had a chance to go up and see the exhibit? Do. You'll enjoy it. The treaty is arguably one of the most important documents in American history, part of the collection of documents from the Confederation period, which ended with the writing and adoption of our Constitution.
