USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The war is usually seen as a draw. However, as this book demonstrates, it was in fact a British victory. The United States achieved none of its war aims, and the peace, concluded in December 1814, metBritain’s long-term maritime needs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Britain effectively won the War of 1812 by successfully defending its North American colonies. But for the British, the war with America had been a mere sideshow compared to its life-or-death struggle with Napoleon in Europe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The War of 1812 was unpopular in Britain even before war was declared. The British public was not in favour of the war due to economic and moral reasons, but the government continued the war as part of their war against Napoleon.

Detailed explanation-4: -For roughly a century, the conflict didn’t merit so much as a capital W in its name and was often called “the war of 1812.” The British were even more dismissive. They termed it “the American War of 1812, ” to distinguish the conflict from the much great Napoleonic War in progress at the same time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Britain’s investment in defending Canada during the War of 1812 proved very beneficial in the long term. The dominion became an important trading partner, a destination for British immigrants, and a source of military and economic support for Britain during the two world wars of the twentieth century.
