Line 1:

The '''Treaty of Washington''' was a [[treaty]] negotiated between the [[BritainUnited Kingdom]] and the [[United States]] in 1871.

The treaty dealt with grievances stemming from the [[American Civil War]] (such as the [[Alabama claims]] and the [[Fenian raids]]) and cross-border issues with the newly-formed [[Dominion of Canada]]. Its negotiation helped to avert what some felt was an inevitable [[war]] between the two parties.
