What war did the Treaty of Ghent official end?

The Treaty of Ghent officially ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. Signed on December 24, 1814, the treaty restored the status quo ante bellum, meaning that territorial boundaries were returned to their pre-war locations. Although it did not address the underlying issues that led to the war, it helped to improve U.S.-British relations in the long run. The treaty took effect in February 1815, after both sides ratified it.
