The War of 1812 ensured that...

  1. The US would annex Canada

  2. Canada would become part of Britain

  3. Canada would remain independent of the United States

  4. Canada would become a French colony

The correct answer is: Canada would remain independent of the United States

The War of 1812 did not ensure that the US would annex Canada, as it ultimately ended in a stalemate with no territorial changes. The War of 1812 also did not lead to Canada becoming part of Britain, as it remained a colony until it gained independence in 1867. Similarly, the war did not result in Canada becoming a French colony, as France had ceded its claims to Canada in the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The most accurate choice is C, as the War of 1812 solidified Canada's independence from the United States, reinforcing its identity as a separate nation.
