The main outcome of the Treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814, was the formal end of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. It restored the pre-war boundaries, ensuring no territorial gains or losses for either side. The treaty helped to improve U.S.-British relations, as it set the groundwork for future cooperation. Furthermore, it solidified American sovereignty and national identity after facing significant challenges. The failure to resolve issues such as impressment and trade restrictions meant that underlying tensions continued, foreshadowing future conflicts in international relations.
