The following is an accurate historical account of the War of 1812

>Summer of 1812
>Napoleon had conquered most of Europe and the UK alone held out
>Napoleon forces all European countries to cut trade with the UK
>Things were looking bad
>UK responds with a blockade of France
>USA continues to trade with France despite this
>UK stowaways are using US ships to sell valuable information to France and to carry out espionage work in general
>UK is too predisposed to do much to stop US activities
>Jefferson uses the stops and searches conducted by UK vessels on US ships as a pretense for invasion
>Cut-throat opportunists in the US see this as a chance to fulfill a bloodthirsty ambition of continental conquest known as manifest destiny
>The Americans quickly reach York (Toronto) and burn it to the ground
>After the element of surprise had worn off they are driven back out of British North America
>The Iroquois natives come through clutch for the British colonies
>The motherland sends NOTHING in the way of reinforcements to the colonies, instead sending more units to Wellington fighting in Spain
>1813
>Detroit has fallen to the British
>So has Fort Niagara
>10 invasions in total have been repelled
>After Napoleon's failure in Russia the UK finally sends some ships to blockade all of the main US ports
>1814
>US federal income (mostly from import duties in those days) completely dries up
>This is when the British units landed and sacked Washington
>Only government buildings were torched as it was to be a 'civilized sacking' in stark contrast to the US burning of York
>US begs for peace and the UK delivers them very generous terms because of a mixture of altruistic ideals and commercial interests

This gorgeous painting hangs in the National Gallery of Canada. I have gone to see it many times. It was gifted from the UK to Canada in 1918 as thanks after WW1. I just wanted to say to my British friends that we very much appreciate this gift 100 years later. Sometimes on free nights, my friends and I go to the National Gallery just to sit and look at this painting.

You also left out the Indian Wars in the South. My fifth great grandfather was killed as a member of the Georgia militia after the Fort Mims massacre. His son then fought the Seminoles under Andrew Jackson.

>stops and searches
By which you mean coastal plundering you lying hack. We aren't obligated to tolerate foreign ships coming to our shores and kidnapping our people. I'm also amazed that you're trying to construe the War of 1812 as having been a good thing for the British, even though it ruined their ambitions in North America and humiliated them (as it was essentially a white peace with an infinitely weaker power).
>>
>>132382856
Which British ambitions in North America are you talking about? They sure weren't the ones attacking their neighbours and massacring their Indians. I specifically mentioned manifest destiny as a motivation for the US invasion. Last time I checked Canada was still a thing so tell me, who's ambitions were ruined again?

>>132384427
Last time I checked Canada was a poor nation, getting poorer, that sells its raw materials to the US and then buys back the refined goods at a higher price. It's also not Britain anymore. Then again, that's really a good thing for them. Being saddled with you would be a fucking travesty. The ambitions that I was alluding to would be along the lines of "Fighting to make sure that literally any outcome happens other than being out-expanded by our competitors." The British really were the aggressors, by the way. Traveling to a foreign coast and practicing impressment upon their sailors is an act of war against any nation that values its sovereignty. Thank God that Andrew Jackson beat the ever-loving shit out of them. It was karmic retribution.

I'd also like to offer my apologies to your Canadian ancestors who fought the war (on the off chance that you aren't an African migrant) for the fact that their descendants managed to not accomplish anything else to be proud of.

Poorest nation in the G7.

Canada has a trade surplus with the US

After 1812 the British Empire entered the most illustrious period of its history. Didn't something important happen in American history about 40 years after 1812? I can't quite remember maybe you can help me out.

Well clearly you didn't rule the world because your evil deeds blew up in your face. If might makes right then accept that you weren't right.

>>132385438
You're the richest nation that's bound for collapse. You have no gold, your economy is on the decline, your housing market is the worst on the planet since foreigners use it like a banking system, and you're ruled by corrupt radical leftists who are determined to import migrants until it all just suddenly starts working. You also have a negligible military and owe us (and Britain) for the fact that people don't walk all over you.

You're right when you say that something did happen about 40 years after 1812. I'd prefer to focus on a point slightly earlier than that, though. The point at which we swiftly defeated Mexico, took half of their territory, and thereby doomed Canada to obscurity by making it impossible for them to expand southward. Then, after the Civil War, we rapidly eclipsed Britain because their ways were inferior to us. History is definitely on the side of the United States. If you barbarians had more awareness then you would probably vacate your lands and beg us to govern them for you.

Wellesley was an Old English family, so pretty much Irish as much as someone called Fitzgerald. Kind of meaningless after centuries.

Just looked up the battalion involved in the burning of Washington

He was still a member of the British ruling elite that COLONISED Ireland; he wasn't Irish. He's about as Irish as George Washington is native American. He isn't Irish because he was born in Ireland. Are Ulster unionists Irish?
>Burning of Washington
Lots of Irish fought in the British Army, yes (not too many LED the British Army). British Army, British victory.
