Why was the battle of lake erie during the war of 1812 improtant? 1. the northeest territory was placed under american control.2. canada came under american control.3. britain would remain in control of detroit.

The correct answer is answer 1 ("The northeast territory was placed under American control").

America's victory in the battle of Lake Erie granted the nation a massive strategic advantage for the rest of the war, which is why it's considered a key factor. Being able to control the lake allowed the US to defend Ohio, Pennsylvania and the west of New York against British attacks; as well as securing victories surrounding the Niagara peninsula; and most importantly recover Detroit.

Hope this helps!
