- Location not stated in the supplied passages; concerns Britain, the Netherlands, and the Dutch East Indies
The Dutch treaty was not finalized until 1784, when captured East Indies possessions were returned for trading privileges; a hoped-for commercial treaty with Britain failed to materialize.
Great Britain signed provisionally with the Netherlands, but the treaty was not finalized until 1784. Under it, Dutch possessions in the East Indies, captured in 1781, were returned by Britain to the Netherlands in exchange for trading privileges in the Dutch East Indies. Separately, the American diplomats' expectation of negotiating a commercial treaty with Britain to resolve some of the unfinished business of the Treaty of Paris failed to materialize in 1784.
