A Contribution to the Diplomacy of the United States of America and selected European Powers during the Wars of Independence (1776-1783)
 Petr, Vojtěch ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with diplomatic relations between United states of America and European powers in the time period of war of Independence (1776-1783). In 1776 the continental congress declares independence on Great Britain. United states need support, therefore they turn to the most likely option, France. That is when the first negotiations of the United States of America begin. Negotiations go well and in time France joins United states in war against Britain. At this moment the focus of Brittish shifts to European shores and France. Situation gets worse for Britain when Spain decides to join the war against them. Spain's main focus is in Europe, Gibraltar. After succesful siege of Yorktown, Britain surrenders the war. Peace negotiations start and delegates from United States are forced to go behind their allies backs and negotiate with England. Thanks to Shelburne, Britain succeeds in gaining as much as possible, and settles on 3rd of November 1776 by signing the Paris treaty. Goal of this paper is to analyze and evaluate brittish position after the peace settlement and try to find the motives for Spanish behaviour and their actual role and importance in the war.
