    The War of 1812 was fought between the new and fragile United States against the British Empire, Canadian Provinces and a few Woodland Indian Tribes. The War of 1812 was an attempt by the Americans to establish their dominance in North America by conquest of the British owned Canadian Provinces. With an under supplied and undermanned army and navy the United States managed to scrape up a stalemate with the British. The British, with the defeat of Napoleon, turn back toward the Old World to establish their presence as the greatest empire in Europe. The Treaty of Ghent was signed by both, the British and United States, to agree upon an armistice and return all rightful land and prisoners back to their respective country. The War of 1812 had major effects in the aftermath of the war both domestically and in foreign affairs. The United States, coming off a decent result on land and even more importantly on the seas against the British Empire, gained more respect in the community of European nations. Inside its borders, America had the greatest nationalistic movement it has seen since the forming of the Union. Nationalism boosted the economy, the arts, and transportation. "The American System" was formed and an anthem was created that Americans can sing to show their patriotism.…

    Canada made an important contribution to World War I. In order for Germany to carry out the Schlieffen Plan, they had to go through neutral Belgium to attack France. As a result Britain came to Belgium’s aid. At this time Canada was tied to Britain’s foreign policy, so when Britain went to war so did Canada. Canada contributed to the war effort in specific battles in Europe, in the air, on land, at sea, and through a war effort at home.…

    Firstly, building Canada as a strong and prosperous nation was based largely on competition. For instance, the main reason the French and English colonized Canada was for its resources and, more specifically, the Fur Trade. This lead to the creation of trading companies, including the Hudson Bay Company, which was British based. But the French had their own company and the two struggled for control of the Fur Trade in Rupert’s land until 1763 with the Treaty of Paris.…

    The War of 1812 is of great historical and cultural significance to Canada. The war of 1812 was declared on the 18th of June, 1812, by James Madison, who was at that time the President of the United States of America. He declared war on Britain, and unfortunately that included Canada. There were many reasons that declared the war of 1812.There were conflicts between the United States and Britain that began in 1812 and lasted until early 1815. President James Madison requested a declaration of war to protect American ships on the high seas and to stop the British from impressing or seizing U.S. sailors. U.S. ships were being stopped and searched by both Great Britain and France, who were fighting each other in Europe. President Madison also wanted to prevent Britain from forming alliances with Native Americans on the American frontier. His decision was influenced by Americans in the West and South, who hoped to expand the United States by seizing control of both Canada and Florida. Critics called the War of 1812 "Mr. Madison's War," but others saw it as a "second war of independence," an opportunity for Americans to defend their freedom and honor in the face of European disrespect. Neither Britain nor the United States was particularly well prepared to fight this war, and the conflict eventually ended in a stalemate. Soon after the war began, American leaders began to worry about the exposed Western fort of Detroit, a strategic settlement in the Michigan Territory. The U.S. hastily dispatched Brigadier General William Hull with reinforcements to the fort. In July General Hull decided to cross the Detroit River into Upper Canada. Hull's men, many of whom came from the Ohio militia, were poorly equipped, and, except for one small regiment, proved insubordinate and unreliable.…
