The Treaty of Paris of 1783 recognized the independence of the United States and set its boundaries from Canada to Florida and the Atlantic to the Mississippi River. Great Britain retained Canada, while Spain regained Florida, but the treaty did not address Indigenous land rights. This treaty significantly reshaped North America's political landscape.
