Gilberth Lara Acc. US. History, Per 8 12 - 29 - 2000 Report "Treaty Of Paris" The Treaty of Paris set off a great a great balance in the fate of Europe and North America. It restored peace in times of great need and suffering. The Treaty of Paris also created unification between sworn rivals. It held a great purpose in the past, and as well as the present and future. Any several treaties signed near Paris, France were considered part of the Treaty of Paris near the 1763. This treaty was created by Great Britain, France, and Spain. The Treaty of Paris, along with the Treaty of Hubertusburg ended the Seven Years War. This event took place from 1756 to 1763. The Seven Years War was a conflict between Europe, North America, and India between France, Austria, Russia, Saxony, Sweden, and near 1762, Spain got involved. On another side, Great Britain, Prussia, and Hanover were under conflict. The two main rivalry show down in this battle was between the French and English colonial rivalries in North America and India and the battle against the supremacy in Europe of Maria Theresa of Austria and Frederick II of Prussia. This event was afterwardths followed by the Austrian Succession. With years passing, Fredrick defeated the Austrians at Bukersdorf in 1762, the English won a battle at Krefeld in 1758, and Minden in 1759 in Germany, and this sounded defeat to the French at Louisburg in 1758 and Quebec in 1759 in North America and Passey in 1757 and Pondichery 1761 in India. Eventually, it leads to the Treaty of Paris and Hubertusburg, were protacted negotiations were made. This gave ranking to certain nations. Even though this was done, the feelings of the civilians did not change too much. With the Treaty of Paris formed, France lost control over Canada to Britain, Cuba and the Philippines were given back to Spain, and India in effect passed to Britain. With treaty, it dated the colonial and maritime supremacy of Britain. Within the years of 1783, a treaty was formed, which formally acknowledged the independence of the Thirteen Colonies as the United States. This treaty fixed the boundaries between the new nations. Reducage of power for Britain against France and Spain fell, with the Dutch as armed neutral forces, a huge amount of peace settlement was made. With this treaty added with the Treaty of Paris, Spain regained the Floridas and Minorca from Britain, and Britain relinquished its restrictions on the French port of Dunkirk. Fort Dunkerque was a town in North France, on the North Sea. It’s a major port and an important center for iron, steel, and other industries. This fort was fought over for centuries and was ruled many times. Louis XIV and France restored back in 1940, this city or fort broken down during World War II, when 300,000 troops marched through the city or fort. So overall, the territorial dispositions of the 1763 Treaty of Paris were reaffirmed. Near 1814, another section was added, which concluded between France on the one hand and Britain, Russia, abdication of Napoleon I. Napoleon was the emperor of the French from 1769 to 1821. He was the cause of the French Revolutionary Wars, and the Napoleonic Wars. In his youth he was sent to military school. Bonaparte then drew up a plan to strike at Britain’s colonial empire by attacking Egypt. His victory over the Mamlucks in battle of the Pyramids was made useless when the French fleets was destroyed in Aboukir Bay by British admiral Nelson. Leaving nothing but a hopeless situation in Egypt, Bonaparte returned to France and joined a conspiracy already hatched by Emmanuel Sieyes. Bonaparte lost power after the Treaty of Paris was signed and was imprisoned in Corsica. Under its provisions, it never went into effect owing to the return of Napoleon from Elba and the resumption of the war. The Treaty of 1815 was signed after by Napoleon’s final surrender. Many of the provisions of the treaty of 1814 and the Final Act of the Congress of Vienna remained to be binded. The Congress of Vienna was an all European states that had existed before the Napolonic upheaval were represented, but, the major powers were Austia , Russia, Prussia, and Britain, made the decisions, but France an equal voice. The problems of confronting the congress were extremely thorny and complex. Its main purpose was to create a balance of power that would preserve the peace. When the Concert of Europe occurred, this ensued attests to the fact that it generally succeeded. The congress opened with a series of glittering balls, and then the delegates settled down to hard bargaining. One unexpected return in 1815, of Napoleon from Elba shocked congress into burying its differences long enough to reach important agreements. Its Final Act of Vienna was issued only nine days before Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo. It’s many accomplishments of the Congress of Vienna include the following: The Confederation of the Rhine was created which replaced the defunct Holy Roman Empire. Louis XVIII of France and Ferdinard VII of Spain were restored. It’s various Italian states went to major powers, and the Britain acquired several strategic colonial territories. This united the Netherlands, causing some short break peace. Russia acquired Finland and effective control over the new kingdom of Poland. Prussia was given much of Saxony and important parts of Westphalia and the Rhine Province. Sweden got Norway. The terms were contained with the Treaty of Paris, and the auxiliary accomplishment of the congress are still or were still in effect. France was reduced to its 1790 borders and forced to pay 700 million francs in reparations plus the costs of an army occupation for five years, for another part of The Treaty of Paris, Treaty of 1856. The Congress of Paris, held a conference between Great Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire(now Turkey), Sardinia, Russia, Austria, and Prussia to negotiate the peace after the Crimean War. In the Treaty of Paris that resulted, Russia was forced back its prewar borders and was made to accept the neutralization of the Black Sea and the placing of the lower Danube River. After World War I, several treaties were signed in or near Paris. The most important treaty out of the treaties was the Treaty of Versatile. The Treaty of 1871, signed the end of the Franco- Prussian War, by Bismarck for Germany and Thiers for France and ratified in the Treaty of Frankfort in 1871. France was forced to give up most of Alsace and Lorraine, pay a large indemnity and accept a German army of occupation. The Versailles Treaty of 1919 is the most famous of the treaties because it was the chief one ending World War I. The Big Four negotiating it were President Wilson, Premier Clemenceau of France, Prime Minister Lloyd George of Britain, and Premier Orlando of Italy. "Conclusion" The Treaty of Paris held a lot of purpose and helped maintain the peace that existed long ago. It tried to sympathize fallen nation and tried to compromise to create a more stable nation. I thought it was cool that even the worse of enemies could help each other out. This was one of the things "Treaty of Paris" gave, which was unification towards every person that lived in North America and Europe. Liberty and happiness weren’t always the case in the treaties. I thought some of the treaties created were unfair, and I thought corrupted some people. Since society is balanced today, there isn’t much need for treaties, but I feel that there will be a great danger ahead of us, and it’ll be revived once again.
