The War of 1812 was a war between the United States and Great Britain.

Why did they fight? It was a war of aggression by the United States against other countries over trade and territory. The British had been restricting American trade with France, which had its own issues with Britain at that time. So Americans decided to take matters into their own hands and attacked Canada to gain more territory and force Britain to lift these restrictions on American trade.

The causes of the War of 1812 included British interference with American shipping and trade, British impressment of American sailors, and British support for native peoples in the U.S. who were trying to resist American expansion into their territory.

The war began in June 1812 when President James Madison declared that Britain had “waged a cruel war against our country.” He said that it had done so by interfering with American shipping on the high seas and by impressing (forcing) American citizens into military service as well as other violations of international law.

The war itself is known as the Second American Revolution (or the second war for independence).

It was fought for similar reasons as the American Revolution, except that this time it was not just Britain but also Great Britain’s allies who were in rebellion against America. The war was fought to defend American rights, including its rights to freedom, equality and self-determination; its right to establish its own government; its right to defend itself against attack; and its ability to maintain peace within its borders.

Canada was invaded by Americans, but it was not annexed.

The War of 1812 was a stalemate, with no clear winner. The British were able to defend their territory and kept the Americans out of Canada. But they did not succeed in driving them back across the border. At the end of this war, there were no changes to either country’s borders—meaning that today’s Canada/U.S. border (which was originally established by treaty) is very similar to what it looked like when this war began in 1812!

There were many battles fought in both Canada and the U.S.; some were victories for Americans, some for Britons, and some were stalemates or losses for both sides.

The war was fought in both the United States and Canada, with battles taking place in New York, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.

The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in December 1814; it did not resolve any issues from before the war began, but both sides agreed to stop fighting.

Neither side gained or lost territory, and trade resumed as before. The peace treaty ratified by Britain and the United States kept status quo on all issues that had precipitated hostilities between them. The British government did agree to open up several Canadian ports—but only after pressure from other neutral countries that were losing business due to blockades imposed by both sides during the conflict.
