The War of 1812 (in Britain, the American War of 1812 to 1815) was fought between the United States of America and Britain and its colonies in British North America (see Upper Canada and Lower Canada) from 1812 to 1815 on land and sea. The Americans had hoped for a quick win as Britain was at war with Napoleon. Despite several notable successes by US frigates and the menace of American privateers to British trade, the Royal Navy established a strict blockade of American trade causing economic hardship; however, success on land see-sawed back and forth between the Americans and the British and Canadian forces. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring North America to status quo ante bellum.

War of 1812. Although this war was fought with the British from Canada, since Canada wasn't a country yet. Still, it was British colonies in Canada fighting the states.

It was called the War of 1812, and is one of the 2 wars that America has lost, and next to the fact that Canada is still and independent country, at least we here in Canada like to think so, even with all the influences we have shot at us.

no but you'll notice on American cartoons such as The Fairly OddParents they put down Canada and on The Simpsons they make fun of Canada :)

No but we should...no wait all of our draft-doggers up there from the Vietnam war wouldn't fight, so Canada would lose.
