The War Of 1812: A Non-Sense War

The French and Indian War came before the big issue of The Proclamation of 1763. The French and Indian War was a war between the British and the French. The war happened because they were fighting for the Ohio Valley. The British won the war which was good and did create unity between the colonies. The win caused us to somewhat unite and helped us gain confidence. However, The French and Indian War did create huge war debts which later was the one of the largest reasons we ended up hating the Parliament. But the reason for the creation of the Proclamation was the Pontiac’s Rebellion. The Pontiac's rebellion of 1763 was that an Ottawa chief named Pontiac wanted to stop the British from expanding into the Ohio Valley. Pontiac and his people

The war of 1812 pitted the young America against the large empowered force of Britain, as well as many native Americans. This war was a huge influential factor in the growth of America from that point on. Britain's tyrannical rule over America and Canada eventually brought America to war. Although they suffered many casualties, American troops pushed the redcoats back and boosted the nation's confidence. The outcome of this war affected America’s foreign policies, economy, and society as a whole.

Naturalist John Burroughs once said of his friend Theodore Roosevelt, "Roosevelt was a many-sided man and every side was like an electric battery. Such versatility, such vitality, such thoroughness, such copiousness, have rarely been united in one man.” While many people know Roosevelt the war hero, Roosevelt the President, or Roosevelt the naturalist, his contributions as an author/historian shouldn’t take a back seat to T.R.’s numerous other accomplishments. In The Naval War of 1812, Roosevelt aims to craft the complete unbiased work on the naval combat between the United States of America and Great Britain from 1812-1815. When it was published in 1883 it became an instant sensation in the academic world. Colleges used it as a textbook and every American naval vessel was required to carry a copy on board. Today, over

The war of 1812 was yet another war that the United States got caught up with. There were several reasons as to what caused this war to begin. Let 's go back to the year of 1806 when France declared it to be illegal for “all neutral trade with Great Britain” (War of 1812 - 1815). The very next year in 1807 Great Britain decided that they were going to play the same game as France and made it illegal for France and all allies of France to trade with each other. In response to the childish games that France and Great Britain were playing the United States Congress passed laws to “[prohibit] U.S. vessels” from doing business with the European Nations (War of 1812 - 1815). In 1810 the United States decided that realistically this wasn 't exactly doing what it was suppose to so they opened trade back up with the European Nations on the condition that France and Great Britain

The War of 1812 was an armed conflict between the United States and the British Empire. In an attempt to cut off supplies from reaching the enemy, both sides attempted to block the United States from trading with the other. Significantly, the British restricted the American trade since the British feared that it was detrimental with their war with France. Importantly, the British wanted to set up an Indian state in the Midwest, which is why thousands of Native Americans fought on the side of the British. The Americans condemned the British Empire restricting their trade and taking sailors to serve on the British side. Lastly, the United States was avid to prove their independence from the British Empire.

The War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States of America and Britain. It lasted between 1812 and 1815. Since 1796, France and Britain had been continuously fighting. The United States, rather than take sides, continued to trade with both countries. However, this did not make either France or Britain very happy. The United States was divided between whether to side with Britain or France. Many Americans wanted to side with the French, but others, including Alexander Hamilton, wanted to annul the alliance the United States had made with France, and side with Great Britain. George Washington, however, decided that it would be best to remain neutral, and therefore issued the Proclamation of Neutrality on April 22, 1793. The War of 1812

The war of 1812 was an armed military conflict between the United States and the British Empire, which comprised of the Great Britain, Ireland and its colonies in North America. It was commenced on June 18th, 1812 by the United States and lasted for another two and a half years. At that time, the Great Britain was the greatest naval power in the world. The United States viewed this as a war on its own whereas Europe viewed it as grounds for the Napoleon wars, since it was caused by issues related to that war. However, this war had a large impact on the future of the United States.

The Louisiana Purchase has its beginnings going back to a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice on both sides of the tally sheet. Let us start with the War of Jenkins’ Ear, war between Great Britain and Spain that began in October 1739 and eventually merged into the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48). It was incited by an incident that took place in 1738 when Captain Robert Jenkins appeared before a committee of the House of Commons and exhibited what he alleged to be his own amputated ear, cut off in April 1731 in the West Indies by Spanish coast guards, who had boarded his ship, pillaged it, and then set it adrift. Public opinion had already been aroused by other Spanish outrages on British ships,

The battle of Trippecanoe gave rise to the Indian conflicts in the old Northwest, this soon merged into the bigger conflict with Britain which is now known as the War of 1812. Britain and France both attacked the U.S ships between 1809 and 1812 after the conflict and Madison could not fully decide either Britain or France as America’s primary enemy. The congress then implemented the Non - Intercourse Act, replacing Jefferson’s embargo. The non - Intercourse Act prohibited Americans to establish any trade relations with France or Britain or any of their colonies. The consequences of this act caused economic distress and thus the country was divided and on the verge of war. In 1811 a group named War Hawks was formed. War Hawks consisted of young Republicans from West and South under the leadership of Henry Clay of Kentucky. War Hawks were eager to start the war against the Britain. The War Hawks approved major defense expenditures, and the army quadrupled in size. In June 1812 Congress declared war on Britain. New England and some Middle Atlantic States opposed the war, fearing the effect on commerce, whereas the South and West supported it. “Lust for power”, “unbound tyranny”, and “mad ambition” were issued by The Foreign Relations Committee to justify the Report in the Causes and Reasons for War. The war began by attacking Canada. The War Hawks predicted victory over Canada in four weeks, but the war lasted two and half years and still America did not win. The outlook of the war was grim, but in late 1812 and early 1813 the tide began to turn to America’s favor. America started to win the battle in the sea and in 1813 they attacked York and burned it. In the same year General Harrison took an army from Detroit into Canada and defeated the British and Indians at the battle of Thames. The U.S was gaining victory over the Britain, so in advance the British ships sailed into Chesapeake Bay with 5000 troops and

The War of 1812, sometimes also called the Second War of Independence, was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, Canada and Indian tribes, who took side with the British. The causes of the war include British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, Royal Navy’s practise of impressment, British help to the Indian Tribes and also America’s desire to expand its territory. The war ended in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent, United States nor Great Britain won or lost the war. However there is one loser after all. The only looser of the war were the Indian tribes – they lost territory and as well as the British protection.

There were many influential events in history. I researched each topic thoroughly and picked the one I felt was the most important.

The seven years war or the more common name the French and Indian war had a profound impact on the balance of power between The English empire, French, and North America. Before the seven years war the French and English had very similar amounts of power over the North American territory. The British had full control over the 13 colonies while the French had much of what control of what now is know as Canada along with the unsettled territory in Mississippi. The war Lasted between 1754 and 1763 this is one of the very first global war due to the fact that The British empire and France had many colonize which caused fighting in Europe, India, and America, and at sea. In North America, imperial rivals Britain and France struggled for supremacy.

The Seven Years War, “was truly a world war in which the conflict spilled out from the American colonies to other parts of the world”. The war ended with the “Treaty Of Paris” and it also provided Great Britain with enormous territorial gains in North America but before we get to that we should talk about how it started. There were one-hundred and fifty years of conflict with the French and British which ended with the Seven Years War. The war began with the French and the First Peoples combined to force “expel” the British colonists from Ohio valley in 1754. The local fight quickly escalated into a full out war. At the beginning, in 1755, France and Britain sent out soldiers to North America, after one year, hatred spread to Europe and both

The Great War initially had no clear political objective subsequently this created tension between the European powers involved. Victory and the annihilation of the opposing force eventually became the ultimate goal. The animosity between both sides caused one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history.

As warfare developed in the 20th century, many historians began to view the extreme commitment of resources and strategies to completely defeat an adversary as the beginning of a new type of warfare: total war. The sheer violence and scope of both World War I and World War II make them prime examples of total war. Keith Nielson points to World War I as a prime example of total war for many reasons: “[T]he conflict of 1914-1918 was a total war that involved the belligerents in all phases of their national existence and faced military decision makers with new and complex problems.” While it is difficult for many historians to find a previous war in history comparing in style of warfare
