After the surrender of Cornwallis's British Army at Yorktown on September 19,1781, which put to an end the fighting in America, the British House of Commons authorized, at the beginning of the year 1782, King George III to make peace. The British were "sick and tired" of the endless , costly war and of the military pressure of the allied forces of France, Spain and Holland they have to face all around the world starting from the beginning of the year 1778.
The formal treaty, acknowledging the Independence of the United States, was signed on September 3, 1783 in Paris.

∙ 14y agoAfter the defeat of Yorktown the British didn't want to continue the war. In March 1782 the House of Commons voted to abandon the effort. Lord North's government fell and the new government under Lord Rochingham opened talks with the American peace commissioners. Talk began in April in Paris and the preliminary articles of peace were signed Nov. 30, 1782. After acceptance by all parties the final peace treaty was signed Sept. 3, 1783. Thus, we have the Treaty of Paris.
