ARP329 Signing the Peace Treaty

Although major operations of the war ended in 1781, it took several more years before negotiators could work out a peace treaty. The American Peace Commissioners bickered with one another, and had to navigate French diplomacy and British politics to reach a final deal. On September 3, 1783, all parties signed Peace treaties in Paris, formally agreeing to the terms that would end the war.
