28 apr 1817 anni - Rush-Bagot Treaty
Descrizione:
The Rush-Bagot Treaty, agreed upon in 1817 between the United States and Great Britain, significantly reduced naval armaments on the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain following the War of 1812. This agreement, which began as an exchange of diplomatic letters between Acting United States Secretary of State Richard Rush and the British Minister to Washington Sir Charles Bagot, laid the groundwork for a long-lasting peace and demilitarization of the U.S.-Canadian border.
