>>2915124
He was born in Guernsey but he lived in Canada and led Canadian troops in battle

>>2915130
Well of course, that's where he was posted.

Was right pissed he didn't get to go fight Napoleon too.

He's a Brit. In fact, technically, there was no such thing as Canada at the time. None of those people were "Canadian", they were British.

>>2915137
Canadian people existed before the creation of Canada. It's like saying Americans didn't exist before 1776. I do agree though that he so much more potential especially if he fought Napoleon. But he was crucial in the war of 1812 and was even planning an invasion of America after he captured Detroit.

My country doesnt have a military history

>>2914938
Based Monash

>>2915149
Er, not really. "Americans" before 1776 were, well, British colonists.

He wasn't really that critical. He was a good officer but that charge at Queenston heights was idiotic and got him killed, and as a result he had no further impact. His success at Detroit was completely undone and rendered irrelevant by his successor. Gordon Drummond was probably the most important British general in that war.

Brock was a brit through and through, but even before 1776 colonists Identified as Virginians or New Englanders before they identified as colonists.

I cant imagine canada was much different, if not before the war then for sure after.

The americans were dug in and the British had little to no artillery support. I'm not saying it wasn't an impressive victory but it's hardly the tactical masterstroke it's often presented as.

Considering it's documented that Brock hated Canada, considered it a backwater compared to the "real fight" with Napoleon, and disliked Canadians because he was unsure of their loyalty and wanted more British forces in the provinces because of said question of American sympathy/loyalty,

yeah, you could say he was a Canadian.

Actually, Newfoundland (St Johns, Cupid, etc) and Nova Scotia (between both the French and English) are older than most colonies which would make up the US.

Nathaniel Greene was good.

>>2915037
are you referring to the provinces of lower and upper Canada as independent nations and not a part of the whole English commonwealth?

"canada" took no part in 1812, it did not exist in 1812. You don't see Americans saying that "The United States of America" fought in the French and Indian wars because a couple british colonies took part in a larger global conflict.

"You don't see Americans saying that "The United States of America""

No, but you do see Americans saying that Americans took part in the French and Indian wars.

Vice Versa, Canada did exist though not as an independent nation. Canadians did fight and the British fought. If you want to add distinction, Canadians from the provinces who considered themselves Canadians fought in Canadian militias, and British soldiers from the Empire, but typically the mainland also fought.

There were Canadian troops who fought in 1812 and successfully repelled the Americans. The biggest continuant of this which comes to mind would be in Quebec.

The problem is Canadians want to take credit for the actions of British soldiers stationed there, and ironically, seem to almost always ignore any actual native Canadians fighting in favor of Britons.

>>2921116
Nova Scotia is older than most US states.
