The Treaty of Paris, signed in Paris by representatives of King George III of Great Britain and representatives of the United States of America on September 3, 1783, officially ended the American Revolutionary War and overall state of conflict between the two countries. The treaty set the boundaries between British North America (later called Canada) and the United States, on lines "exceedingly generous" to the latter. Details included fishing rights and restoration of property and prisoners of war.

This treaty and the separate peace treaties between Great Britain and the nations that supported the American cause—France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic—are known collectively as the Peace of Paris. Only Article 1 of the treaty, which acknowledges the United States' existence as free, sovereign, and independent states, remains in force.

The 2022 Australian federal election was held on Saturday 21 May 2022 to elect members of the 47th Parliament of Australia. The incumbent Liberal/National coalition government led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison sought to win a fourth consecutive term in office but was defeated by the opposition, the Labor Party led by Anthony Albanese. Up for election were all 151 seats in the lower house, the House of Representatives, and 40 of the 76 seats in the upper house, the Senate.



The Smithon Crisis, also known as the November Crisis (of 1871), the First Eureka-Tasmania Crisis, or the Eurekan Ship Scare, was a 15-day (15 November – 30 November 1871) confrontation between the Republic of Eureka and Tasmania, observed by the Commonwealth of Australia. The crisis was a direct result of the West Bass Retaliation Plan, drafted, approved, and enacted by Eurekan President Timmothy Hayes, a significant policy which led primarily to his election at the 1871 Eurekan presidential election. The plan served as an attempt to overcome the Australian placed West Bass Blockade in the Bass Strait, preventing Eurekan access to the South Indian Ocean. The West Bass Retaliation Plan involved the establishment of a Eurekan naval outpost colony along the north-west coast of Tasmania, which could overcome the West Bass Blockade. The crisis has since been regarded as one of the first historical false alarms.

The crisis began on the dawn of November 20, 1871, when the Eurekan colony vessels were seen off the coast of Smithon, Tasmania, which the citizens believed to be warships under the guise of an unprovoked military attack, as tensions had been rising between Eureka and the Commonwealth states beforehand, and President Hayes's strong stance of Eurekan nationalism therein. Soon after the ships sighting, Tasmanian advisors were quick to contact Australian Commonwealth officials, who in turn began the deployment of ground troops and naval vessels in preparation for an invasion.

In a tense 15-day conference between Eurekan President Timothy Hayes and Australian Prime Minister William Stawell, both of whom took leading roles in the negotiations, an armistace was eventually negotiated upon, through which the West Bass Blockade would be disbanded, and Australia would remove all intended military forces, whilst Eureka would no longer seek to expand into Tasmania militarily or otherwise. The lack of Tasmanian presence at the negotiation conference, with Australia seemingly presumably speaking in their best interest on their behalf, directly contributed to the rise of Tasmanian nationalism, and the Unity Alliance's loss at the 1872 Tasmanian national election.

The Smithon Crisis is historically regarded as the closest Eureka and Australia had ever come to war since the Eurekan Revolution.
