The War of
1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of the United States of
America and those of the British Empire. The Americans declared war in 1812 for
several reasons, including trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with
France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy,
British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and
outrage over insults to national honor after humiliations on the high seas. 


 Tied down in
Europe until 1814, the British at first used defensive strategy, repelling
multiple American invasions of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada.
However, the Americans gained control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of
western Ontario, and destroyed the dream of an Indian confederacy and an
independent Indian state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In the
Southwest, General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Creek
nation at the Battle of  Horseshoe Bend in 1814. 


With the
defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy,
sending in three large invasion armies. The British victory at the Battle of
Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed them to capture and burn Washington, D.C.
American victories in September 1814 and January 1815 repulsed all three
British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans.
