That the brits just couldnt get over being BTFO that they actually got BTFO again.

Basically God wanted the US to exist.

It can't be spun to a "blacks, jews and immigrants are the best" story so our schools don't teach it.
Doesn't involve William Wallace or Robert the Bruce either.

Do you guys get shamed for your dealings with the Irish too?

Salty baits come and burn the white house, Pat themselves on the back.

Salty Americans come and shoot at Brits until they leave. Pat themselves on the back.

Canadians do something with their military for once.

nothing at all

Here we call it "The French-in-Indian War"

Literally nothing

Why would they teach us about a war unrelated to my country...?

It doesn't come up here.

My history classes would be this

>Scottish Wars of Independence
>Al Capone
>Immigrants to America
>Slavery (And the underground railroad)
>World War 1
>The Holocaust
>How bad it used to be being poor in Britain and working in a factory
>How poor people were until liberal reforms
>The Cold War (most classes on this topic were removed though because we needed to spend more time on the suffragettes)

My teacher said that it is war of economic independence from UK.

that we kicked redcoat ass, again.

dumb fuck americans tried to invade british lands (canada) and in the end didn't gain anything

also burnt the white house down LMAO get fucked nerds

Don't forget how African soldiers from the colonies actually saved you in both world wars. :^)

>dumb fuck americans tried to invade british lands (canada) and in the end didn't gain anything

Actually we did.

Plus that clay turned out to be full of iron deposits.

Different war

that wasn't because of the war of 1812 you retard

did you just see that the date was close to the war and assumed it had something to do with it?

fuck you're dumb

nice strawman, his point still stands.

The British couldn't have won in the long term, even the Duke of Wellington said such. He said they'd just get swallowed up in the endless American wilderness.

that we curb stomped the brits outside new orleans

no it doesn't you stupid shart. that treaty has absolutely nothing to do with the war

>american education

Americans try to invade us, they were unsuccessful, but they fucked up York(Toronto)

we sent them back, torched the white house, took control of Maine, and then later gave Maine back to maintain peace(Maine would have been useful to us since it would've made travel to the Maritimes easier)

Americans of today try to use every possible excuse even though they started it and were unsuccessful, they LOST lmao just accept it

>we sent them back, torched the white house
That was veterans of the Peninsular War they brought over during Napoleon's exile on Elba, not Canadians.

>Americans of today try to use every possible excuse even though they started it and were unsuccessful, they LOST lmao just accept it

American history texts until at least the 1970s always considered the war a win for the US since we achieved the main goal of stopping British impressment of sailors. It's more common now to refer to it as a tactical draw.

>America wants to manifest their destiny north
>literally believe they are destined to control the entire continent
>believe that Canadians will join their cause (several supporting quotes)
>drum up support for war with nonsense propaganda about being boarded by Brits looking for desserters and naval trade restrictions with Napoléonic France
>Something every nation does on the high seas, often to this day
>please ignore endless quotes from politicians and military leaders claiming this is for Canadian clay
>immediately invade Canada
>oh shit, the Canadians aren't joining us
>oh shit, despite being embroiled in Europe Britain isn't abandoning Canada
>this went poorly
>laurasecord.jpeg
>claimed war was for naval purposes
>stopped building frigates half way through war
>those that were built stayed blockaded
>lose gambit
>US clay in Maine (then MA) stays occupied until 1817
>pretend you were only just pretending to be retarded
>Napoléonic wars end
>trade restrictions with France are lifted obviously
>Americans claim that makes it a draw
>over 200 years later 21st century Americans are still falling for early 19th century propaganda

Is that the one where Napoleon got beaten? I learned more from Swedish Eurovision winners than from school....

Canada would have fallen easily but some poor strategic decisions. They should have gone straight for Montreal which would cut off the main supply route to the inland and essentially starve it out.

British Royal Marines razed the white house, not Canadian troops.

The myth persists becauae many of the British troops from 1812 stayed in Canada and are ancestors of current Canadians. So basically, Brits who are modern Canadian's ancestors did it.

nice ad hominem

smdh you could never fuck with the British Empire back then

literally the only reason you gained independence was because Britain was too busy fighting France

and despite them fighting France again during 1812, you still got your ass kicked

>not Canadians
no such thing as Canadians in 1812, only Brits

Acquiring clay was a side quest but not the main goal of the war when of course we already had more clay than we possibly knew what to do with. The only people who think the war was mainly about annexing Canada are butthurt, obsessed syrup niggers.

>no such thing as Canadians in 1812, only Brits
That was not the point. The point was that the troops who burned Washington were Napoleonic veterans brought over from Europe during the Hundred Days.

>british attack us troops, and cripple us economy
>us forced to retaliate
>manage to valiantly fend off the red coat aggressors
>manage to btfo the british so hard in one battle that no one ever respected britian again
no other way to spin it. it was a defensive war against the british.

>and despite them fighting France again during 1812, you still got your ass kicked

France was a more respectable nation than the hormonal teenager known as the United States so you were always on the backburner of British priority lmao

I learned that brits attacked us ships and kidnapped people, so the USA attacked Canada, the USA failed during the first half then went on to utterly BTFO the brits.
See pic related. Literally natives, farmers and fucking pirates beat the British.

Sort of, it's the one where America bought a 3rd of their country from Napoleon, this, along with Jefferson's tumescence for Roman statesman Cincinattus and the ideals of a noble agrarian statesman, set off a rampant sense of imperialism in America. They decide that Britain is too busy dealing with Napoleon to defend Canada, but first they need a bullshit "Remember the Maine" propaganda campaign to rally support for ear chest taxes and conscripts, use yellow journalism to play up minor boardings of American vessels at sea while looking for British desserters and trade restrictions Britain has put in France (which you'll recognise as something every nation ever has done including America). Their bet didn't pay off, Brits and Canadian militia beat them back from Canadian clay, after Napoléonic Wars were over trade restrictions and desserting seaman were no longer needed by Britian so the lifted them, America continues to pretend this was a victory somehow, American historians begrudgingly call it a draw, the rest of the world recognises it as a failed invasion attempt (not the first or last)

The Royal Navy were bitchslapped good. They hadn't outright lost an engagement in almost a hundred years .

>America continues to pretend this was a victory somehow, American historians begrudgingly call it a draw

The Bongs made numerous attempts throughout the 19th century to Jew us.

>refuse to open the West Indies to US trade because butthurt
>protracted border dispute over Maine
>British writers from this time often wrote that American people and culture were primitive and stupid
>bet on Mexico winning the war with the US
>attacked and sunk an American ship during the 1837 Canadian rebellion
>armed and supplied the Confederacy because mmmuh cheap cotton

>and desserting seaman were no longer needed by Britian so the lifted them

Impressment of sailors stopped before the war actually began, but news traveled so slowly in those days we didn't know it.

lmao did they really supply the Confederacy? I thought nobody in Europe even recognized them as a legitimate state while the yanks torched everything they had to hell and back

Jackson actually thought he lost the fight. When a young British officer approached him he thought it was to accept his sword in surrender, instead it was to deliver news of Pankenham's death and the British surrender. The Brits were just too far from tneir naval supply lines.

The idea from Horton's song that they "ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em" is erroneous and actually sad considering the truth.
One remarkably disciplined scottish regiment had all their ranking men killed, they fought on under withering fire until they ran out of ammunition, with no one left to sound the retreat they stood their ground being butchered. The Americans were so moved by their courage and disipline that they began shooting into the air when their officers ordered them to fire. When someone in a position to do so arrived and sounded the retreat for the scottish soldiers, the Americans applauded their valour.

Where the fuck do you people learn this? It continued until the end if the war with Napolean, and was stopped as a result of that, which in no way was informed by American agressions.

The 1837 "Canadian" rebellion was by Americans. They were 1st gen American immigrants to Canada backed by Americans. Of course America lost a ship, hundreds of Americans were killed, like 9 Canadians and Brits were.

My English is not good enough to read this. Can you simplify please?

we burnt Moscow and kicked Napoleon's ass.

Your fucking English is fine, you're probably American, or at least spent time there.

Anyway, Battle of NO not as decisive a victory as furst thought, mostly chaos
Brits not cowards, actually very brave

Nothing, Napolean's war in Europe was more important anyway.

BASICALLY the brit troops started to get shot by american troops. american thought they lost. turns out american won. There is a song about the battle, and it says the brits ran. brits did not run, they were shot (kek). there was scottish troops, they were courageous. americans clapped.

>Colonial Education

literally nothing, napoleonic wars and the finnish is just that much more defining in the shaping of the current sweden.

That's definitely true
Basically like this
>Whole world
Doesn't give a fuck
>UK gives very few fucks and considers it an ancillary problem compared to Napoléonic wars
>USA
Mild fucks given, lots of important history comes from this, burning of white house, famous leaders, naval traditions, national anthem, etc
>Canada
Lots of fucks given, seen as a defining moment in Canadian history and the beginning of the birth of a nation that would culminate during WWI
>Certain Indian Tribal Nations
All of the fucks
From total carnage, disbanding of tribes, to Jackson's rise, this was it for them

>attacked and sunk an American ship during the 1837 Canadian rebellion

A few years later, some Canadian guy showed up in a New York tavern and boasted that he'd been among those who sank the Caroline. He was promptly arrested and charged with murder, but the British embassy threatened war with the US if he were executed, so the charges were quietly dropped.

>lmao did they really supply the Confederacy?
Are you Squidding me? The Confederates bought tons of Enfield rifles from the UK and even breechloading cannons. Also the British built raiders for them such as CSS Alabama which had British crews manning them and utterly ravaged US merchant shipping on the high seas.

Russia was the only European power that didn't take the side of the Confederates.

>Of course America lost a ship, hundreds of Americans were killed

Only one guy actually died in the sinking of the Caroline, unlike contemporary yellow journalism which made it look like the boat went off Niagara Falls in flames with dozens of women and children aboard.

I wasn't referring to one vessel, I was talking about the rebellions as a whole, although the vast majority of deaths were during the French portion of the rebellions, the predominantly American portion only seeing a couple deaths and a few subsequent executions.

>that land in Minnesota full of iron deposits
I don't think you know where the Minnesota Iron Range lays, friend. That does hold some of the North Dakota shale oil, but it's not like Canada is hurting for shale oil.
