The Peace Arch Monument, located in Blaine, Washington, symbolizes the longstanding peaceful relations between the United States and Canada. It stands at the border between the two countries, specifically representing the diplomatic and peaceful partnership between the United States and Canada. The monument was built to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, and to celebrate the unbroken peace between the two nations.
