Preliminary treaty with the Dutch Republic
- When
- 2 September 1783
- Where
- Paris, site of the preliminary treaty signing
A preliminary treaty with the States General of the Dutch Republic was signed on 2 September 1783, one day before the other peace treaties were formalised.
While the main Peace of Paris treaties were concluded on 3 September 1783, representatives of the States General of the Dutch Republic had signed a preliminary treaty the previous day, 2 September 1783. The Dutch, lacking leverage over Britain, Spain, France, and the United States in the negotiations, did not make this preliminary treaty until that date. The final treaty ending the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, however, was not signed until 20 May 1784.
