The Treaty of Paris did not lead to World War 1. The Treaty of Paris was a peace treaty signed on September 3, 1783, between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America, officially ending the American Revolutionary War. World War 1 was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918, involving all the great powers of the time. The origins of World War 1 are more complex and are rooted in various factors such as nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and a complex system of alliances among European countries.
