The War of 1812

Paper Summary:

This thirteen page paper examines why historians are in general agreement that no one won the War of 1812. The writer concludes that the second conflict in thirty years between Great Britain and the United States produced no practical resolution of any of the issues that led to the war. Further, the writer discusses that this prevailing view is based upon the inability of both sides to win a decisive land or naval battle, and reflects the reality that the political and geographical status quo after the war in 1815 was much the same as it had been before the war broke out in 1812.
