FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
BY H. IRVING KING
TREATY or PARIS. 1853.

BY H. IRVING KING

On February 10, 1763, there was
signed one of the most momentous
treaties ever concluded in the history
of the world: for 1t not only decided
whether the Latin or the Anglo Saxon
race should be supreme In North
America, not only deposed France
from her position Of a colonial power
Of the first rank, but it ended war
which had taught the American col
onies to think, act and feel for them
selves in terms Of distinctive national
ity, had laid the foundations for the
American Revolution and developed
the genius of George Washington.
Unlike the other wars which had
disturbed the American colonies and
called upon the colonists to shed their
blood in backing up some European
quarrel in which they had no inter
est, this war was begun in the Amer
lean wilds over American questions,
and its main theater of action was
American soil. 1t is known in Amer
lea as the French and Indian war.
French and English Quarrel.
Scarcely was the ink dried on the
Treaty Of Aix-la-C hapelle when the
French and English began to quarrel
over the boundaries of that indefinite
region Of Arcadia" which had been
coded to England by the Treaty Of
Utrecht. On the Ohio a land company
claimed under charter from George
II vast stretches of land which the
French claimed lay in French terri
tory. The governor Of Canada sent
military force from Montreal to
drive out the English settlers and es,
tablish posts. The governor of Vir-
ginia decided to send a ''person Of dis
tnction" to inquire into this, and Sc
iected George Washington, then twen-
ty-one years of age. The French COM
Inandant declared he would hold his
ground.
The next spring Washington went
oct with an expedition to build a fort
at the junction Of the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers where now is
Pittsburgh. Reaching the Great
Meadows he learned of the approach
Of French force and attacked it,

TREATY OF PARIS, 1888.
Signed for TWO After Of CORVALLIS.

AS is being proved now it is sim
pier thing to start a war than to end
one--a more complicated matter to
take such show off the stage than
to put it on"
The surrender of CORVALLIS in Oc-
tober Of 1881 practically ended the
war of the American Revolution; but
1t was not until September 8, of 1885,
nearly two years later, that the de-
finitive treaty of peace was signed at
Paris. Almost all the intervening time
was spent in negotiations. Franklin,
John Adams, Jay and Laurens had been
sent to Paris to be ready for the for
mutation of peace. All sensible Brit
ish statesmen were convinced that the
independence of the colonies was an
accomplished fact but the king, and
the reactionaries with whom he had
surrounded himself, were stubbornly
bent on continuing the war. 1t was
proposed to make 1t a war of posts
as the futility of transporting anoth-
er great army to America was appar-
ent. Gibraltar was besieged by the
Spanish and the success Of the Amerl-
ran arms had inspired Holland to break
off relations with England in the very
year CORVALLIS surrendered and had
induced the northern nations under
the guise of neutrality to form league.
Nothing Succeeds Like Success.
England wanted peace and America
wanted peace; the question was VINO
should make the first move. AT last
General Conway, on Washingtons
birthday, February % of 1852, MADE
a motion in the house of commons
against continuing the war. It was
lost by one vote but carried five DAYS
later by a majority of 10. This meant
the downfall Of the ministry and the
formation Of new one favorable 10
peace. Rickinghams ministry came IN
on March 20. Lord Shelburne was
secretary of state for the home de-
partment and Charles James FOX Ior
foreign affairs. Now, If America was
independent, peace with America was
a matter for Fox to handle-H IL
wasn't, the task belonged to ohei-
burne. Franklin saw two strings 10

Treaty of Paeification.
King Louis and his government were
filled with anger when they heard of
the signing of this treaty in which
they had not been allowed to NEEDLE.
But they Gained down and on Septem-
Der of the next year, nine months
after Franklin's treaty, a Treaty Of
Publication between Spain, France
and England was signed.
Franklin's treaty became effective:
Conquests made by France and Eng
land during the war were exchanged;
Tobago and the Senegal river We're
coded to France. Pondicherry (French
India) was enlarged. Spain was con-
firmed in her possession of Florida and
Minorca. Holland recovered all her
possessions except Negapatam in India
In the boundary negotiations Great
Britain insisted that the western line
of the United States should be the AL
leghenies. The Americans replied In
effect:
"Gen. George Rogers Clark in 1879
captured Kaskaskia and Vincennes and
took possession of the illinois coun-
try We have been in possession ever
since. We are in possession now. The
country is ours clear to the Mississippi
and we are going to keep It,"
The United States had it's way. Now
mark the result! The fact that the
United States owned to the Mississippi
caused it to make the Louisiana Pur-
chase" of Napoleon in 1903, by which

Of California and the completion of
the march across the continent.
The guiding hand of Providence
raised up George Rogers Clark. The
capture of General Hamilton at Vim
cennes should be listed in the de
cisive battles of the world" The fix
ing of the Mississippi as Americas
western boundary, next to the recog-
nition of her independence, was the
most important article of the treaty of
Paris, 1888.
