The treaty that ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain was the Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814. The treaty effectively restored the status quo ante bellum, meaning that neither side gained territory or significant concessions. Although it did not resolve the underlying issues that led to the war, such as trade disputes and impressment of American sailors, it marked a turning point in U.S.-British relations. The treaty fostered a sense of national unity and paved the way for future diplomatic relations between the two nations.
