The War of 1812 was a military conflict, lasting for two and a half years, fought by the United States of America against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, its North American colonies, and its North American Indian allies. Historians in the United States and Canada see it as a war in its own right, but Europeans sometimes see it as a minor theatre of the Napoleonic Wars, as it was caused by related issues to that war (especially the Continental System). By the war's end in 1815 most issues had been resolved and there were no boundary changes.
The United States declared war on June 18, 1812, for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought about by the British war with France, the impressment of as many as 10,000 American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support for Native American tribes fighting American settlers on the frontier, outrage over insults to national honor during the Chesapeake–Leopard Affair, and possible American interest in annexing British territory. The primary British war goal was to defend their North American colonies, although they also hoped to set up a neutral Indian buffer state in the Midwest.
In which John Green teaches you about the War of 1812. The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and its former colonial overlord England. It started in, you guessed it 1812. The war lasted until 1815, and it resolved very little. John will take you through the causes of the war, tell you a little bit about the fighting itself, and get into just why the US Army couldn't manage to make any progress invading Canada. And yes, Canadians, we're going to talk about the White House getting burned down. The upshot: no territory changed hands, and most of the other bones of contention were solved prior to the actual war. Although nothing much changed for the US and England, the Native Americans were the big losers. Tecumseh was killed, and the Indian tribes lost a lot of territory. Watch...
First Invasion: The War of 1812, a History Channel documentary that first aired in 2004, portrays a young United States of America "on the brink of annihilation" as it battles the largest and most powerful empire on earth. Critics say the documentary is far too pro-American, and that it ignores or downplays crucial elements of the War of 1812. Others praise First Invasion for its compelling presentation of a far too neglected period of history.

Please Enjoy and Subscribe. Thanks! For two and a half years, Americans fought Against the British, Canadian colonists, and native nations. In the years to come, the War of 1812 would be celebrated in some places and essentially forgotten in others. But it is a war worth remembering-a struggle that threatened the existence of Canada, then divided the United States so deeply that the nation almost broke apart. Some of its battles and heroes became legendary, yet its blunders and cowards were just as prominent. The film shows how the glories of war became enshrined in history - how failures are quickly forgotten - how inconvenient truths are ignored forever. With stunning re-enactments, evocative animation and the incisive commentary of key experts, The War of 1812 presents the conflict that...

The War of 1812, won by the US against British Empirical forces trying to keep the new Americans of their former colonies from trading with France, was a major turning point in our nation’s history. It thwarted the British plans to stop settlers from moving further west, strengthened many of the divided political forces and state residents as a more unified nation, was the beginning of the United States’ aim to keep fortifying our military and its Battle of Fort McHenry served as the inspiration for what would become our National Anthem.

Hamilton in Brooklyn and now Deputy Commandant at the United States Military Academy, joins Mike Connors to talk about the war, its local battles and how it inspired the Ft.

In 1812, a very young United States of America had its sights set on expansion to the north and the west. But the British wanted to keep its former colony tightly contained. In the balance were the lands of the Northwestern Frontier. England's Canadian provinces wanted a buffer zone between their lands and what they perceived as a hostile United States. The native peoples who called this land their home, wanted it declared a self-governing Indian territory; an independent nation. The United States wanted to settle the frontier, as they felt they had been promised at the end of the Revolutionary War. The frontier was a gateway to further western expansion; a Great Lakes highway to natural resources; and a military challenge to the combatants. The War of 1812 would decide who control...

Isaac Brock was born in 1769, on Guernsey in the Channel Islands, the eighth son in his family. He joined the British Army as a young teenager, and quickly advanced through the ranks — primarily by purchasing his promotions. He served in British posts from the Caribbean to Copenhagen, where he lead a regiment supporting Nelson. Brock was stationed in Canada in 1802, but wasn't particularly happy about the move. With the Napoleonic wars raging on in Europe, he felt left out of the action and felt his chances of promotion were less likely from Canada. - http://canada-1812.ca/brock/ Tags: Canada, War of 1812, British Army, Isaac Brock, United States, North America, Europe, war, First Nation, allies, general, ranks, British Empire, Britain
