| | The Treaty Of Paris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | On November 30th, agreement was reached with the American commissioners, and when England came to terms with France and Spain, the formal treaty of peace was signed on September 3, 1783. |
 | | France lost to Britain all of its North American possessions (except Louisiana, which it had ceded to Spain); the treaty excluded French troops from Bengal, effectively ending the French imperial drive in India; and, in Africa, France yielded Senegal to the British. |
 | | The treaty also made navigation of the Mississippi free to all signatories (which included France, Spain, and Holland), restored Florida to Spain and Senegal to France, and gave the United States fishing rights off Newfoundland. |
