The correct answer is: Great Britain and the United States signed the Treaty of Paris.
The surrender of General Cornwallis at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 significantly weakened British resolve and ultimately led to negotiations that resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, formally recognizing American independence.
