The SALT I treaty, signed in 1972, was significant as it marked the first formal agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union to limit nuclear weapons, specifically intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). It established a framework for arms control and laid the groundwork for future negotiations, fostering a period of détente in Cold War tensions. The treaty also symbolized a mutual recognition of the need to curb the nuclear arms race, contributing to global efforts for strategic stability and security.

The Treaties of Velasco, signed in 1836 between Texas and Mexico, marked a pivotal moment in the Texas Revolution, as they established Texas's independence from Mexico. The treaties outlined the terms of peace and set the borders between the two nations. However, Mexico later refused to recognize the treaties, leading to ongoing tensions and conflicts. Ultimately, the treaties laid the groundwork for Texas's eventual admission into the United States in 1845, significantly impacting U.S.-Mexico relations.

A Treaty

The 1819 Transcontinental Treaty with Spain ( also called the Adams-Onís Treaty ) settled boundary disputes between the The United States and Spain.

Pinckney's Treaty, also known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo, resolved a territorial dispute between Spain and the United States. The negotiations for the treaty were concluded on October 27, 1795 between U.S. diplomat Thomas Pinckney and Spanish prime minister Manuel de Godoy. The treaty expanded the southern border of the United States to the 31st parallel and maintained its western border as the Mississippi River. It also granted Americans the right to navigate the Mississippi River, even through Spanish territory, as well as the right to conduct business at the port of New Orleans, which was controlled by the Spanish at the time.

According to the US Department of State's Office of the Historian, the treaty was resolved due to the fact that "Spain's political and military position had weakened under its defeats and war expenses, while population growth in Kentucky and Tennessee, combined with a shortage of European ships to sustain trade with Louisiana, made Spanish officials amenable to a change in restrictive Spanish trade policies."

Americans found fault with Jay's Treaty because it did not deal with the British interfering with American trades.

The Treaty of Nanking, signed in 1842, was primarily unfavorable to China, but it did offer some favorable conditions for the Chinese in terms of sovereignty and territorial integrity. For instance, it marked the end of the First Opium War, which allowed China to regain some control over its trade policies, albeit under significant foreign influence. Additionally, the treaty's requirement for Britain to return certain territories and the establishment of a framework for diplomatic relations laid the groundwork for future negotiations, ultimately allowing China to assert its interests more effectively over time. However, the overall impact of the treaty was largely detrimental to China's autonomy.

The federal government makes treaties through a process that involves negotiation, approval, and ratification. The President, often through the Secretary of State, negotiates treaties with foreign nations. Once a treaty is crafted, it must be submitted to the Senate, where it requires a two-thirds majority vote for ratification. After Senate approval, the treaty is formally ratified by the President and becomes part of U.S. law.
