Aroostook War

The Aroostook War (1838-1839) was a dispute between the United States and the United Kingdom over the Maine-New Brunswick border. Despite the name, it was primarily a bloodless conflict involving limited military mobilization and no actual battles. Tensions arose from conflicting land claims and lumber rights in the Aroostook River valley. While no official war was declared, local militias were activated on both sides. The conflict was resolved through diplomatic negotiations with the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which established a definitive border and ended the dispute.
