Correct. The answer is a. Franklin, Adams, and Jay were surprised when they were addressed as “the Commissioners of the Colonies” at a peace talk where, they believed, American independence was essentially a presupposition. Although updated credentials later referred to the men as representing the United States of America, the error reflected the indifference (or even apathy) of European negotiators to American independence.

Correct. The answer is c. Spain wanted to expand its control of the land west of the Mississippi River—including its western bank—to include the eastern bank, too, which would have given the country full control of navigation rights on this important river. Spain made a secret alliance with France in the negotiations to try to secure and expand Spanish control of the Mississippi.

Correct. The answer is b. France’s participation in the American war for independence had nothing to do with independence at all. Instead, the war was simply another site where the rivalry between the British and the French played out in the eighteenth century. By aiding the colonists, France hoped to stymie one of its biggest European rivals.

Correct. The answer is c. This essay argues that European countries, particularly France and Spain, participated in the Revolutionary War and/or the Peace of Paris out of concern for their position in the broader European political landscape—issues that had nothing to do with the cause that most concerned Americans: independence from Britain.
