b. Britain gained power again in the United States
c. America won a second war against the British and showed its might
d. France gained power in the United States

Answer 1

The result of the War of 1812 is best summarized by option a. Almost every political issue between Britain and the United States remained the same from before the war. While the war ended with the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 and there was no significant territorial change, many of the issues that had led to the conflict, such as trade restrictions and impressment, were not resolved. The war did help to foster a sense of American nationalism, but it did not fundamentally change the political landscape between the two nations.
