[quote]Actually the war of 1812 was won nor lost a peaceful resolution was reached[/quote] Yes, after Canada captured all the states bordering it, with the American's having no significant victories, and somehow being completely incapable of beating a country who's population was no more than 300 thousand. [quote]and it wasn't canada it was british forces in canada[/quote] ... Right, so people living in Canada, but not Canadians? Am I missing something here. Ah well, guess America never won a war since the all came from Britain. So all those self proclaimed amazing victories were actually the british, interesting. [quote](and the capital city of Canada was burned in the process sooo...)[/quote] Yes, and so was Washington, your point? Though of course the noble America, who supposedly fought for their freedom sought to invade another country. The first actual invasion of Canada was during the Revolutionary war 1776-1783. In which, a group of American militants decided to attacks Quebec, because Quebec wouldn't help them in the fight against the British (They remained neutral in the conflict, as did Nova Scotia, formerly Acadia) since George Washington openly shunned and attacked the French culture. Thus giving them no reason to risk their secured future, without promise of a better one. The Americans went to Quebec. They were beaten. By civilians. In Quebec. So, to surmise, Canadians fought for Canada, America showed hostile intent before the war even started, and the outcome of the war was that Canada had to give back all the land it captured from America, because the Americans sued for peace. Interesting that you weren't taught this in school. Though U.S.A History seems to contradict every other countries' history books. Perhaps I can find a copy in the fiction section of the library?
