What was the outcome of the American attempt to conquer Canada by 1814?

  1. It was a success

  2. It was still ongoing

  3. It had failed

  4. It was undecided

The correct answer is: It had failed

The outcome of the American attempt to conquer Canada by 1814 was a failure. This is because the War of 1812, which included this attempt, ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in December 1814, and the borders between the United States and Canada remained the same as before the war. Option A is incorrect because although the Americans initially gained some victories in Canada, they were ultimately unable to conquer it. Option B is incorrect because the war ended in 1814, making any ongoing attempts to conquer Canada at that time irrelevant. Option D is incorrect because the war had a clear outcome of not being able to conquer Canada, thus making it decided. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and relevant answer.
