dec 24, 1815 - Treaty of Ghent - 1815
Description:
The Treaty of Ghent was a peace treaty between the United States and Great Britain signed to end the then 3-year War of 1812. The treaty itself was signed in Ghent, which was then part of the United Netherlands (and is now in modern Belgium). This has political influence because it led to over two centuries of peaceful foreign relations between the United States and Great Britain. It also had an influence on power because it provided the United States with an ally for the future, which strengthened their global status.Added to timeline:
