the British empire, literally massacred by Indonesian rice farmers in the Indonesian war of independence in 1949, trounced by Turkish villagers despite a whole coalition on their side in the Turkish war of independence in 1922, slaughtered by Irish potato farmers in the Irish war of independence in 1921, battered and forced to run away against American corn farmers in 1776, thrown out of Yemen against desert farmers with flip flops during the Aden war in 1967 and the North Yemen Civil war in 1970, lost 3 separate wars against some Icelandic fish farmers in 2 dollar boats, routed from Afghanistan by some mountain farmer cave dwellers in 3 separate wars (1842, 1919, and 2001) got smashed and fled from an overwhelmingly outnumbered and outgunned army in Cyprus in the Cyprus war in 1959, beaten and humiliated by some Egyptian militia during the Suez war in 1956, needed the Americans to come in and win the second world war for them, thrown out of Israel in 1948, annihilated by some Dutch farmers with sticks during the Boer war in 1881 and had to resort to putting women and children in concentration camps while also screaming for hundreds of thousands of foreign soldiers to do all their fighting for them, lost the San Juan islands against the Americans in the Pig War in 1859, should i keep going? its truly staggering how humiliating Britains military record is, definitely a record for everyone to come point and laugh at

My favorite are Canadians talking as if they were a country on their own in this war and not a colony of the British Empire. Canada didn't exist yet domestically until 1867, no independent foreign policy until 1931, and didn't have their own patriated constitution until the early 1980s.
Don't get me wrong, I love you guys. Hockey, Tim Hortons, poutine, excellent neighbors. our besties now adays. The whole nine yards. Grew up right on the border where a lot of these battles took place. Nothing but positive experiences with our friends to the north.
But I can't help but laugh at that.

My gosh, I really can't believe Washington actually continued with their declaration of war after they learned that Britain not only dropped its trade restrictions but refrained from declaring war in return just to give Washington a chance to reconsider. Shows that trade, etc. was in fact a thin facade and that imperialist usurpation of Native and Canadian lands by US settlers and military hawks was the driving motivation for the war. That said, burning Washington D. C. was a BIT MUCH on the part of Britain's defensive efforts.

Such a crazy story, the British retreated to Canada and held the line for a year or 2 while they killed Napoleon (he was good too-it-s not Micky mouse) then they cracked on fighting America again and burned down parts of the Whitehouse so they whitewashed it to cover the burn marks and still to this day it-s called the White House. Fair play to those lads back then they didn-t give a F. How were the British literally always outnumbered and always held a good account of themselves.

All Empires fall because they're fighting wars everywhere being too greedy. Romans, USSR, Greeks, British and before long America will be knocked off the top. It won't be by war though. The Brics nations will out compete America economically. All the investments in Africa by China and even China buying American and Canadian farm land will be devastating for America.

Ok. I don't know anything about this war. So we were distracted with Napoleonic Spain, and the Americans decided to invade Canada, but then we steamrolled them so far out of Canadian land, so far out that we occupied and burned their capital. Battle of bladenberg or chrysler farm? The British empire won. I don't know why but I don't care lol

The Founding Fathers of the United States, stated that -We claim nothing but the liberty and privileges of Englishmen in the same degree, as if we had continued among our brethren in Great Britain.
The rights of Englishmen were being violated by the British Empire. Britain / UK and England are not the same thing.

They also didn-t mention the battle of Stoney Creek, which is a modern day suburb of Hamilton where I am from. The British/Canadians and the 6 nations snuck up on them in the middle of the night and captured the lot of them, including at least one general! -------

The warr of 1812: when USA starts a war and gets its butt kicked. USA is a loser, always has been. Pathetic. A lot of countries don't change, the same way a lot of people don't change. Now they are trying to police the world and they are not successful at it.

Mostly true, but tends to ignore the overweening ambitions of the War Hawks, who hoped to expand the U. S. not only into Canada, but also into the Floridas. [invaded March, 1812]. --And, some of them said, into South America [Venezuela, to be exact].

Let us not forget the native Americans were not this peace. Loving people, they held slaves longer than anyone. In the United States, they had tribal wars killing each other for centuries.

Funny that those people who fought for their 13 British colonies are Europeans not native Americans. like Russel means once said, -The white people are the new Indian of this country-.

There are so many factual inaccurassies here. For starters Ottawa wasn't founded until 1826 and even then it was called Bywater and Toronto didn't exist either. It was called York.

There was no winner of the 1812 war. The treaty of Ghent officially ended it, mostly because both sides just got tired of fighting a pointless war.
