The Anglo-American War of 1812 resulted in various territorial changes, although it did not lead to significant land exchanges compared to other conflicts. A primary outcome was a reaffirmation of U.S. sovereignty and boundaries, particularly along the Great Lakes and the border with Canada. The war's end also helped solidify the United States’ claim to territories in the Northwest, as British support for Native American resistance diminished following their military losses. In a broader sense, the war fostered a sense of American nationalism and identity, influencing future territorial expansion westward, but did not result in formal territorial alterations in the treaty that ended the war.
