The significance of the Treaty of Paris (1783) in shaping the future of the United States primarily lies in the fact that **it recognized American independence and set boundaries that encouraged westward expansion**.
This treaty formally ended the American Revolutionary War, acknowledging the sovereignty of the United States and establishing clear boundaries for the new nation. It defined the borders of the United States, ultimately opening up vast territories for exploration and settlement, which encouraged further westward expansion in the years to come. The other options, such as establishing a monarchy or returning the colonies to British control, are inaccurate reflections of the treaty's outcomes.
