Which war is also known for its indecisive conclusion and conflicts over maritime practices?

The War of 1812 is recognized for its indecisive conclusion and the tensions over maritime practices between the United States and Great Britain. The war was largely fueled by issues such as impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, trade restrictions imposed by Britain, and maritime rights. The conflict resulted in no clear victory for either side, culminating in the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, which essentially restored relations to the status quo ante bellum, meaning both parties returned to their pre-war boundaries and conditions without addressing the underlying issues that had sparked the war.

This lack of a definitive resolution and continued disputes over maritime rights contribute to its characterization as indecisive. The other wars listed, while significant, do not share the same level of ambiguity regarding their outcomes or specific conflicts centered around maritime practices. The American Civil War ended decisively with the defeat of the Confederacy, World War I had a clear conclusion with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and the Mexican War resulted in a definite territorial gain for the United States through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
