The US did achieve one of its objectives though: In the Treaty of Ghent, the British promised not to arm the Native Americans from Canada or even to trade with them. This allowed the US to easily expand westward.
In the war of 1812 the US achieved a major objective, the UK lost little of real value and the various Indian tribes who lived west of the US lost everything.

[@lindaeasley5606]

What else were they going to call a complicated , bizarre scuffle?

[@tomflynn8651]

This war is listed as a stalemate for a reason... so firstly, lets look at the facts:
The U.S economy depended on the British Empire for its exports in the early 1800s (at 47%). The cease of Britain's trade with America paired with a naval blockade (blocking U.S from trading with U.K/France) crippled the U.S economy during the Napoleonic Wars. Impressing Americans into the Royal Navy, posing a threat to an invasion via Canada, and supporting Native Americans to prevent expansion; the British were a seemingly permanent thorn in America's side.
America's goal was to dislodge that thorn. To show that it was not to bow to an increasingly powerful Britain. Britain wanted to keep America east of the Appalachians, keeping them weak. America wanted to expand in all directions (including Canada), making themselves powerful. The compromise at the end of the war was that in exchange for Britain leaving America alone to prosper, the U.S would allow Canada to exist whilst submitting to British naval domination. Each nation had their security concerns and those concerns were acknowledged and finally remedied in Treaty of Ghent. America is justified in celebrating the outcome of this war, likewise Canada.

Perhaps it is, as you Yankees like to add aggrandizement to all your claims as the "Best country in the world," you don't like to admit your losses. One more: Where did you get your education? (?)

[@redplanet667]

full disclosure im British but I am objective about history, however I really can't see why some Americans think that they won this war, they did not achieve any of their objectives and they totally failed in their attempts to gain ground in Canada, America would eventually go on to become a Lion but at this stage it was a Lion cub that still has a lot to learn, us Brits are happy to chat about every war in our history win, lose or draw but Americans seem to have a very hard time talking about the ones they lost, but most historians agree that this was a loss for young America

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

+James Marsden The War of 1812 along with the Vietnam War are two of the main conflicts that America has lost but still won't accept it, they have lost others as well, but those two in particular are probably the ones they're most known for.

[@OperatorOscillation]

+George Reggie Had the war ended with the signing of the peace treaty (not the same thing as it's ratification), and had a desire for Canada been the goal of the war, then I would agree. But all three objectives of the war were accomplished. There are no longer any red coats stomping through American ports looking for deserters as they wondered why the towns rioted against them, there are no longer any Federalists on the ballot, and you can walk through Ohio without getting tamahawked. During the peace negotiations, the British refused to change their stance on impressment, despite the end of their war with Napoleon. If born a British subject, then you're always a subject, regardless of whether you become a US citizen or not. The loss at New Orleans had a large psychological effect on that generation of Britons and they reversed their stance on impressment within a year after the war ended when Americans threatened more bloodshed if they didn't stop. Since the US victory was a belated one, I can understand why a lot of people don't see it at first glance.

[@redplanet667]

+Mansplain Blane yeah you make some very good points there, I do think the USA overestimated how welcome they were going to be in Canada though, they expected Canadians would be in full support of them, they would later make the same mistake in Vietnam and again in Iraq, it seems to be America has a habit of overestimating how much the citizens of other countries love them.

Long story short the War of 1812 was for nothing and neither side won

[@UltimatePowa]

Both sides won and both sides lost.
Calling it a stalemate would be inaccurate.
Britain was freely taking people off of American vessels to fight in their wars, so America got real pissed off and began a non-intercourse trade agreement.
This wasn't very helpful so they re-wrote the law saying whoever (Britain or France) lifted trade restrictions first, they would resume the non-intercourse trade agreement with the opposing side.
Napoleon acted on it of course, so America sided with France, and thus the rest of the events of the war unfolded.
Canada was an objective because it was Britain's colony and was right next door.
America after all didn't have much of a navy except for pirates and trading vessels.
The reason Americans believe they won, was because America originally just wanted to be left alone.
Taking Canada and things like that were just a smaller objective to the bigger objective, and that was to be free of Britain's tyranny.
America was able to remain America, keeping their sailors without taking Canada and Britain defeated Napoleon and kept Canada, thus both sides won, and both sides lost.

[@LiamE69]

@@ganthore It was a long time later that the USA became one of the great powers. It became a great power on the back of its industrial might which greatly expanded through the 19th century. But even by the outbreak of WWI the US had little in the way of an army and its navy was no match for the RN. By the end of WWI, things were very different. Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary had torn each other apart and become deeply indebted whilst the USA had expanded militarily and industrially and had not suffered the ravages of war to any great extent. With the second world war further weakening countries in Europe and basically ending the British Empire, the USA and Russia emerged as superpowers but only the USA really had the industrial base to support that long term. For a while we have seen the USA alone as a superpower but we are now seeing the inevitable rise of China to that status.
As for the naval part of the war of 1812 having your entire country blockaded for years is maybe a bigger thing than the odd ship doing well in the odd engagement.

1812 also could've ended quite differently if the United states was properly prepared for it. Considering how well we did with a relatively very small and underequipped army, as well as the nation being pretty divided in the beginning on whether or not we should actually go to war; It could be very possible that we would have achieved the annexation of Canada. Whether or not we could actually assimilate them into our nation and culture (and not have them split off due to resistance and uprisings) is debatable, though.

*Copy pasta time*
The War of 1812 was a military conflict that lasted from June 18, 1812 to February 18, 1815, fought by the United States of America against Great Britain, its North American colonies, and its North American Indian allies. Historians in the United States and Canada see it as a war in its own right, but Europeans sometimes see it as a minor theatre of the Napoleonic Wars, as it was caused by issues related to that war (especially the Continental System). By the war's end in early 1815 the key issues had been resolved and peace came with no boundary changes.
The United States declared war for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought about by the British war with France, the impressment of as many as 10,000 American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy,[5] British support for Native American tribes fighting American settlers on the frontier, outrage over insults to national honor during the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair, and possible American interest in annexing British territory.[6] The primary British war goal was to defend their North American colonies, although they also hoped to set up a neutral Indian buffer state in the Midwest.
The war was fought in three theatres. First, at sea, warships and privateers of each side attacked the other's merchant ships, while the British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the United States and mounted large raids in the later stages of the war. Second, land and naval battles were fought on the U.S.-Canadian frontier. Third, large-scale battles were fought in the Southern United States and Gulf Coast. At the end of the war, both sides signed and ratified the Treaty of Ghent and, in accordance with the treaty, returned occupied land, prisoners of war and captured ships (though neither side returned the other's warships due to frequent re-commissioning upon capture) to its pre-war owner and resumed friendly trade relations without restriction.
With the majority of its land and naval forces tied down in Europe fighting the Napoleonic Wars, the British used a predominantly defensive strategy in the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. Early victories over poorly-led U.S. armies, such as in the Battle of Queenston Heights, demonstrated that the conquest of the Canadas would prove more difficult than anticipated. Despite this, the U.S. was able to inflict serious defeats on Britain's Native American allies, ending the prospect of an Indian confederacy and an independent Native American state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. U.S. forces were also able to make several gains and score victories on the Canadian frontier; taking control of Lake Erie in 1813, seizing western parts of Upper Canada. However, a large-scale U.S. attempt to capture Montreal was repulsed in November 1813. Despite the major U.S. victory at Chippawa on July 5, 1814, serious U.S. attempts to fully conquer Upper Canada were ultimately abandoned following the bloody Battle of Lundy's Lane on July 25, 1814. The U.S. then fell back roughly 30 km (19 mi) from Lundy's Lane to Fort Erie, where they withstood a siege for several months. The British eventually withdrew, but as winter set in, the Americans demolished the fort and fell back across the Niagara.
In April 1814, with the defeat of Napoleon, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending larger invasion armies and tightening their naval blockade. However, with the end of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, both governments were eager for a return to normality and peace negotiations began in Ghent in August 1814. In the Deep South, General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. In September 1814, the British won the Battle of Hampden, allowing them to occupy eastern Maine, and the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed them to capture and burn Washington, D.C. They were repulsed, however, in an attempt to take Baltimore and Fort Bowyer, and during their assault at Fayal. An American victory in September 1814 at the Battle of Plattsburgh repulsed the British invasions of New York, which, along with pressure from merchants on the British government, prompted British diplomats to drop their demands at Ghent for an independent native buffer state and territorial claims that London previously sought. Given that it took six weeks for ships to cross the Atlantic, news of the peace treaty did not arrive before the British suffered a major defeat at New Orleans in January 1815.[7]
In the United States, late victories over invading British armies at the battles of Plattsburg, Baltimore (inspiring the United States national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner") and New Orleans produced a sense of euphoria over a "second war of independence" against Britain.[8][9] The war ended on a high note for Americans, winning the final engagements of the war and bringing an "Era of Good Feelings" in which partisan animosity nearly vanished in the face of strengthened American nationalism. The war was also a major turning point in the development of the U.S. military. The poor performance of several U.S. militia units, particularly during the 1812-13 invasions of Canada and the 1814 defence of Washington, convinced the U.S. government of the need to move away from its Revolutionary-era reliance on militia and focus on creating a more professional regular force. Spain was involved in fighting in Florida but was not an official belligerent; some Spanish forces fought alongside the British during the Occupation of Pensacola. The U.S. took permanent ownership of Spain's Mobile District.
In Upper and Lower Canada, British and local Canadian militia victories over invading U.S. armies became iconic and promoted the development of a distinct Canadian identity, which included strong loyalty to Britain. Today, particularly in Ontario, memory of the war retains its significance, because the defeat of the invasions ensured that the Canadas would remain part of the British Empire, rather than be annexed by the United States. In Canada, numerous ceremonies took place in 2012 to commemorate the war, offer historical lessons and celebrate 200 years of peace across the border.[10] The conflict has not been commemorated on nearly the same level in the modern-day United States, though it is still taught as an important part of early American history,[11] and Dolley Madison's and Andrew Jackson's respective roles in the war are especially emphasized.[12][13] The war is scarcely remembered in Britain, being heavily overshadowed by the much larger Napoleonic Wars occurring in Europe.

[@stopmotionlegend4669]

you took this from wikipedia -_-

[@trajan75]

Consequences of the War. The Americans realized that there was little sympathy in Canada for leaving the British Empire. The Indians lost all chance of forming an independent buffer state between Canada and the US. Even though it occurred after the war Jackson's victory at New Orleans in which a veteran British Army was annihilated and the Duke of Wellington's brother in law was killed, showed that a no European power could not win a land war in the U.S. The burning of Washington like the burning of Moscow in the Napoleonic wars had no strategic significance.

[@ledavalon7118]

I'm not sure if losing ten percent of your force counts as being "annihilated"... And yes, a European nation could defeat the US in a land war, considering the Canadian militia halted the US invasion and the British managed to take the capital. The British had committed a majority of their power to Europe and yet the war was still going in Britain's favour, whereas the American's had committed everything as it was on their own soil and was doing poorly save some successful naval skirmishes and a handful of victories on land. The British didn't want to keep fighting because they saw no reason to, otherwise they would have comfortable defeated America with their massive navy, elite army and endless resources.

[@trajan75]

Okay decimated then. That's good enough considering that Jackson's casualties were minimal. As to winning a land war it was impossible. The vastness of the American wilderness, combined with potential for the American farmers and frontiersmen to wage ceaseless guerrilla war would have bled the British dry. This wasn't India with a docile population willing to accept a dominant occupying power. Britain's position in Europe would have become much weaker, and Waterloo was looming.

[@ledavalon7118]

They would have had more trouble than it was worth, yes, that's why they didn't continue the war. But it wouldn't have been possible for the reasons that I provided but which you ignored.

[@trajan75]

I'm afraid we must disagree. They would have lost the war flat out. It may have taken some time, but the British Army would have been defeated. They might have held on to some to some cities and faced urban warfare, but they had neither the commanders or resources capable of beating Jackson or even Harrison on the frontier. They would have faced an endless array of Dan Morgans, Mad Dog Waynes, Francis Marions etc. They would eventually turned tail and left.

[@ledavalon7118]

you seem to confuse 19th century america and 21st century america, the US lacked the infrastructure, experience, willingness and resources to continue a war with a superpower. The British had only really sent a militia from Canada and a small force from Europe and despite that they managed to face the entire US force, burn the capital and manage to do so with half the casualties from combat as the Americans. So the British had the most powerful Navy in the world, an effective blockade, more soldiers, more experience and more resources., yet they were losing because Andrew Jackson won an impressive victory that killed a couple hundred soldiers? No way. The Americans had more soldiers at the start of the war but considerably less than the British at the end, in either case the British were doing quite well.
The US wouldn't fight to the bitter end either, they would cut their losses as soon as they realised that they were losing all their cities and sue for peace. Wars don't necessarily end when the enemy is totally annihilated.

[@gabet.1880]

As an American, I really hate the sense of nationalism in our country. We lost this war, we lost the Vietnam War but many people here don't admit that we did. Americans blindly supporting their flag goes for a lot of things unfortunately, including many things today (the right to bear arms being a "Constitutional [and thus completely moral] Right" would be a good example of one of them).

If we didn’t fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we seen their faces well,

You know that is not at all what happened during the War of the American Revolution right ? Generally speaking the british officers and soldiers were more competent than the american ones, even George Washington was known to be an solely average tactician, only really good in retreats. Reasons for why they won include, british soldiers refusing to fight against their countrymen, France, Spain, the Dutch and others ganging up on the British, there being a ocean between the countrys and simple strokes of luck. The american soldiers had to use guerilla tactic, otherwise the Revolution would have been crushed pretty fast, the land itself was there biggest weapon.

[@lkuchiame4021]

Honestly, the War of 1812 was started by President James Madison because Major General Dearborn felt that Canada could easily be won and that Canadians would be happy to be part of the U.S. instead of part of Britain. All that land! Furs! Fish! Natural resources! (It wasn't true that Canadains would be happy to be part of the US. Canadians felt this would just be another form of colonization and the British were treating Canadians better than they did Americans before 1775 because they had, kinda, learnt their lesson). Also, some Congressmen from the south encouraged the President to go to war with Britain because they felt (it was probably true), that Britain was creating economic problems for them and helping the First Nations to prevent American expansion westward. Why not go north, instead?

[@thebeezknees]

[@STho205]

7000 troops and a fleet vs an outpost with 200 men and not a ship in sight. Yep a typical British glorious victory, like fighting the fuzzy wuzziez later in the century. Typically in the 1812 war when the forces were matched, or even half strength against Martial Pump, the Americans won. That's not to say the Brits were wimps. The Americans were former Brits. The British, like many Americans over imagine their prowess. Like Brits taking sole credit for defeating Napoleon, which is far from factual, but makes a good Sharpes miniseries.

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

S Tho The Americans never won, it was a military stalemate

[@MsVixxen]

S Tho That wasn't the case in the Niagara Campaign, Counter-invasion,..... or the majority of evenly-matched battles throughout the rest of the War for that matter. There are numerous incidents of large numbers of Americans surrendering to smaller numbered British forces throughout the War too. Sometimes this was from the mere presence of natives amongst the British ranks, the natives hated & despised the Americans so virtually all of them allied themselves with the British just so that they could scalp some Yankees. This installed fear amongst Americans and so just seeing or hearing natives amongst the British forces was enough to deter many from fighting.

[@STho205]

+Brythonic Fox. That is true in the 1st months of the War. The exact converse is true in the next year as entrenched Proctor chaotically fled Detroit hearing of the loss on the lake, exposed/abandoned the Shawnee and left the Toronto region completely exposed to Harrison and the US Regulars. It was a chess game, tit for tat war like most in the era. Good general's and complete twits on both sides.
I don't believe either the US or UK won that war, but the US did win the 19th Century in North America, against all odds and an array of European interests.
Canadians, themselves, we're always too small in numbers to do much on their own, despite recent imaginings of Harper, but the UK did well, till Baltimore and New Orleans.
By Nov 1814 the causes of the war were already resolved. The war was a military tie. The following peace, however, was a victory for the US.

But, only a couple of seconds into the video he says that The British only got to Detroit and then were pushed back, so they failed too. And if the U.S. didn't win then no one did because the British didn't regain control of America. Also (I don't think this means U.S. won) in the Battle of New Orleans the U.S. had 4,000 troops and the British had like 12,000 but the U.S. won also, i don't know if this is a hundred percent true, the U.S. only list like 15 people in that battle

Thank you for this video 🙏 It helped me on my test

[@nnysterion]

did you fail it

[@odin....]

American goals
1: stop britain from ceasing American sailors. Success
2: cease native land. Success
3: take cannada. Fail
British goals
1: keep cannada. Success
2: stop American trade with France. Fail but napoleon was defeated anyways so nobody cares.
Native goals:
1: survive. Fail
America achieved 2 out of 3 of its goals, britain achieved one of its goals and the other was no longer one of its goals by the end of the war, andThe natives failed to achieve any of its goals.

[@nope6908]

Which is why I say tie, I'm 1st generation American but the war just seems like a tie at the end.

[@lesdodoclips3915]

America already achieved number 1 diplomatically BEFORE the war started.
You can’t say Britain failed to stop American trade with France. As you already said, it didn’t matter by wars end.

+Morbus "Crudely drawn"???!!! That's fighting talk.

[@benjamintalbot201]

hardly enslaved, the press-ganging of british citizens was a questionable practice but any british citizen could legally be forced into the navy and were paid ect. ect. the idea of transferring your citizenship didn't really exist at the time so the british just viewed them as renegade british, they were treated the same as any british sailor would be (not saying it was right, just saying that claiming slavery incorrectly while the US held actual slaves is quite hypocritical)

[@CostaApostolou]

g any american can be forced into the draft, so every British citizen could be put into the navy. The British were taking the newly settled British people trying to move to america/serving on american ships and left Americans with proper papers. This practice was stopped before the war started anyways...

[@Redshift2077]

The US achieved what they wanted. They stopped the British kidnapping of American sailors and guaranteed their westward expansion.

[@lkuchiame4021]

No, they didn't America planned to take Upper Canada first, then the rest of Canada and even the Hudson Bay Company's territory (Rupert's Land - now defunct) in the west of Canada. They got nothing.

[@thanato3798]

yet they continued the war after the UK ended the orders in council, in fact that was 2 days before the US declared war.

[@deprogramm]

So what you're saying is the U.S. got something while the brits got nothing. Got it. So we did win.

[@ea.fitz216]

Vasting On the contrary- Britain's blockades stopped trade with France and almost ruined the American economy, we stopped the invasion of Canada and took multiple areas of land in the North East. America's goals were to invade Canada, stop Native American's from having land and trading with France. We accomplished more war goals than them, mainly as their seizing of Native territories happened after the war ended, meaning they didn't accomplish it in the war.

The state of Maryland is sort of like Russia in the sense that bad things happen to people who try to invade it. It didn’t go well for either the British or the Confederates
