The main achievements were a military and financial alliance with France (which brought in Spain and Hollad as well to fight the British), turning the American Revolution into a world war in which the British naval and military superemacy was neutralized. The diplomats--especially [[Benjamin Franklin]], [[John Adams]] and [[Thomas Jefferson]] secured recognition of American independence and large loans to the new national government. The [[Treaty of Paris]] in 1783 was highly favorable to the United States.
