No one really won the War of 1812 -- it basically ended in a stalemate.
The War of 1812 was declared by United States against Great Britain, and it
ended in late 1814 with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which did not
declare either side as the victor. Instead, the treaty roughly reinstated
the conditions that were in effect before the war and did not answer or
address any of the issues over which the war started. The War of 1812 was
fought over a variety of issues, including maritime trade restrictions
imposed on the US by Great Britain, the US wanting to expand into
Britain’s territory of Canada and impressment, a practice in which Great
Britain forcibly removed about 6,000 American seamen from their vessels and
claimed that they were British citizens.
