John Jay signed this treaty between the United States and Great Britain. The Jay’s Treaty was created because of the tension between the two countries had risen since the end of the Revolutionary War. This treaty was extremely controversial, although the treaty was passed by a narrow margin in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This was because the British military still had posts in America’s territory and the British interfered with the American trade and shipping. Great Britain was not very corporative they did not want to meet the standards America had given them leading to this particular intense treaty in America. George Washington comes in now and is highly disappointed with the provisions of the treaty but went ahead and hoped for the best outcome for this treaty and sent it to the Senate to get it approved. Jay’s Treaty was passed by the Senate with a vote of twenty to ten with the exact approval of the two-thirds vote. After Jay’s Treaty was approved George Washington who was the President at the time submitted every document related to the Jay’s Treaty on June 8, 1795.…

    Treaty of Paris

    The Treaty of Paris of 1763 was a treaty that officially ended the French and Indian War. This treaty was signed on February 10, 1763 by England, France, and Spain. The French and Indian War was a more wide European conflict in which England and Prussia went against France, Austria, Russia and Spain. The major cause of the war was the struggle for territorial expansion among the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, know then as the Ohio Territory.This war was also known as the Seven Years War and The Treaty of Paris concluded it. During the Treaty of Paris in 1763, France lost Canada and all claims to the territory east of the Mississippi to Great Britain, but gained back Martinique and Guadeloupe. Meanwhile Spain with the desire to recover Cuba, which Britain had taken from them gave up Florida in exchange. To recompense its ally France gave all of Louisiana west of the Mississippi and New Orleans to Spain, but with these being the only exceptions, England now had the whole land of North America east of the Mississippi in its power. The majority of Spanish and African occupants of Florida left and established somewhere else in parts of the Spanish empire, but all French settlers maintained occupying Canada, the Illinois country, and Spanish Louisiana. Over all the triumph, on the race for the most power, was for England. As understood the British colonies were experiencing great happiness at this point because the warfare seemed over at last. For them this meant that the colonies could now develop their extensive resources in an imperial partnership and share their never before experienced prosperity. However, this treaty was only going to begin to tear the colonies and the mother country…

    The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

    The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is an agreement, signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, which is a city north from the capital of Mexico, between the United States and Mexico that marked the end of the Mexican War. With the defeat of the troops and the fall of the Mexican capital on September 1847, the Mexican government surrendered to the United States and wanted negotiations between the United States to end the war. Signing the treaty was only the beginning of the process because it still had to be approved by the congresses of both the United States and Mexico. No one could tell how the Polk administration would receive a treaty negotiated by an unofficial agent, and could they know the goods and the negative things of the Mexican political scene for the next few months. In both the U.S. and Mexican governments there was opposition to the treaty. In the United States, the northern abolitionists opposed the annexation of Mexican territory. In the Mexican congress, a sizable minority was in favor of continuing the fight. Both countries ratified the document. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marked the end of the war.…
