Who did the US fight in the War of 1812?

Answer 1

The United States declared war on Britain, and immediately launched a full scale invasion of Canada.

There are those who would end the list of combatants there, with only the United States and Britain, since Canada "didn't exist" as an independent country until 1867, but, in fact, the territory along the St Lawrence and west of it had already been known as Canada for two centuries. It's also true that Canadian defenders made up a bigger percentage of the (seriously outnumbered) defending force than the British Army did. While the presence of well-trained British regulars was crucial, there would be no Canada if not for the contribution of the Canadians and aboriginals who, together, made up around 75% of the defenders.

Which brings us to another combatant. Tecumseh's coalition of aboriginal nations comprised the largest group of defenders, and had gone to war as allies of Britain because it's homeland was being threatened.

Answer 2

The British. They were stopping US ships and pulling men off. They were warned, kept it up, and the war was the result. British troops ended up invading, burning the White House as Dolly Madison ran out of the backdoor with Washington's painting.

Answer 3

Great Britain, along with their Canadian and Native American allies.

Answer 4

Great Britain
