Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

The present-day Canada-USA border is partly an outcome of which war?

1. The Civil War

2. The War of 1812

3. World War I

4. The American Revolutionary War

The correct answer is: The War of 1812

The present-day Canada-USA border is partly an outcome of the War of 1812. This war was fought between British North America (now Canada) and the United States from 1812 to 1815. While the war ended in a stalemate, the Treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814, established the border between the two nations. The other options presented as choices are incorrect because they did not directly involve Canada and the USA in establishing their present-day border. The Civil War was fought between the Union and Confederacy within the USA, World War I primarily involved European nations, and the American Revolutionary War was fought between the American colonies and Great Britain. Thus, the War of 1812 is the correct answer because it specifically addressed the border between Canada and the USA.
