Solution

The correct option is D marked the last major conflict between England and the United States.

The War of 1812 has often been called the Second War of Independence because it marked the last major conflict between England and the United States. After the War of 1812, the British accepted the United States as a fully independent nation. It did not end British presence in North America as the British were still in Canada, but they did leave the forts in the Ohio Country. The Star Spangled Banner, which was later adopted as the national anthem, was written during the war but however, this did not make the United States any more independent of Britain. The United States had had a navy since its founding. The war did not result in a gain of new lands for the United States.
