Accademia navale di Annapolis

Annapolis was settled in 1649 and from 1783 to August 1784, Annapolis served as the United State’s first peacetime national capital. There in 1783 General George Washington resigned from the Continental Army. The next year, the Treaty of Paris ending the American Revolution was ratified there. In 1786 the city served as the seat of the Annapolis Convention, at which delegates from five states met to discuss proposed changes to the Articles of Confederation by which the country was then run.
