Although there were a few initial causes of the war, it is important to note and keep in mind that amongst those causes territorial conquest was also intended. Both sides failed in attempts to capture each others lands, and eventually settled on final boundaries which separated what is known today as Canada from the United States of America. This conflict, which started much like it ended, in stalemate, it was in fact a war that once and for all declared American Independence and at the same time attempted without great results to settle disputes between British North America and the Americans.
The British - American war that lasted for more than two years was crucial to Canada today, in terms of becoming, remaining and having roots of a British nation. The war of 1812 is an extremely important historical event which shaped the way our nation is today.
