This was the beginning of the foundation of what would become the state of Israel. </p> <p>Also today in 1783, George Washington delivered his farewell address to the Continental Army, disbanding it in favor of creating a more permanent standing army of the United States. He did so after the signing of the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War. </p>
