WHAT DOES WAR OF 1812 MEAN IN ENGLISH?

War of 1812

War of 1812

The War of 1812 was a two and a half-year military conflict between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, its North American colonies and its Indian allies. The war resolved many issues which remained from the American War of Independence but involved no boundary changes. The United States declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought about by the British war with France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, outrage over insults to national honour after humiliations on the high seas and possible American interest in annexing British North American territory, which had been denied to them in the settlement ending the American Revolutionary War. The war was fought in three principal theatres. Firstly, 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.
