Which treaty ended the American Revolution?

• A. Treaty of Ghent
• B. Treaty of Versailles
• C. Treaty of Paris
• D. Treaty of Utrecht

Answer: (C)

The main idea is recognizing how peace was formally made after the fighting stopped. In 1783, representatives from the United States and Great Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the war. It recognized the United States as an independent nation and set its boundaries, marking a formal peace and the start of a new American government. The other treaties listed ended different conflicts: the Treaty of Ghent ended the War of 1812, the Treaty of Versailles ended World War I, and the Treaty of Utrecht ended the War of the Spanish Succession. So the Treaty of Paris is the one that brought the American Revolution to a close.
