The main outcome of the Treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814, was the restoration of pre-war boundaries between the United States and Britain, effectively ending the War of 1812. There were no territorial gains or losses for either side, which restored the status quo ante bellum. The treaty did not address the underlying issues that had led to the conflict, such as maritime rights and trade restrictions, but it helped re-establish peace between the two nations. Additionally, the settlement encouraged a spirit of nationalism in the U.S. and paved the way for future diplomatic relations.
