The main result of the Treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814, was the restoration of the status quo ante bellum between the United States and Great Britain, effectively ending the War of 1812. Neither side gained territory, and the treaty allowed both nations to focus on other issues, such as expansion and trade. It recognized American sovereignty and reestablished peace, contributing to an era of growth and enhanced relations between the two countries. The lack of significant territorial changes and issues addressed in the treaty also laid the groundwork for future diplomatic interactions and cooperation on both sides.
