The Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814, effectively ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. It returned territorial boundaries to their pre-war status, meaning that neither side gained or lost territory. The treaty restored peace and allowed for the continuation of diplomatic relations, but it did not address the underlying issues that had led to the war, such as impressment of American sailors and trade restrictions.
