Was there a war between Canada and the United States? How many wars broke out? (Now this year is the Millennium of the Western Calendar, and Beijing time is 20 19)

The "American-Canadian War" in history was a part of the Second American-British War, and it was a war launched by the newly independent United States for territorial expansion, using Britain to fall into the Napoleonic War. In the end, the joint forces composed of Canadian militia, aboriginal armed forces and British troops repelled the American invasion.

This war played a great role in promoting the formation of the Canadian nation and became the beginning of Canadian national identity. In the history of Canada, the American-Canadian war is the only war invaded by foreign enemies, which is related to the life and death of Canada. The war prompted the British and French colonists in Canada to unite against the enemy of the same country, the United States, and the hope of the United States annexing Canada by force was completely dashed.

1783 after the victory of the war of independence, the United States began to expand its territory. The British government is very afraid of this. In order to prevent American territorial expansion, Britain began to harass American maritime trade. Although the United States won the war of independence and expanded its territory at will, it was still suppressed by Britain in trade, politics and military affairs. In particular, Britain provided weapons to Indian tribes who resisted the United States through Canada, which made Americans deeply dissatisfied and the contradiction between the United States and Britain intensified. At the same time, Britain, based in Canada, supported the Indians against the American government, especially the Indians in the northwest, under the leadership of Chief tecumseh, have been firmly preventing the United States from expanding westward. This convinced the American government that only by conquering Canada can we ensure the smooth westward expansion of territory.

1 812 On June1day, the US Congress passed President james madison's proposal to declare war on Britain. 18, the United States declared war on Britain, and the second American-British war broke out. The reason why the United States launched the war is euphemistically called: maintaining freedom of navigation, but its real purpose is to occupy Canada and continue to expand its territory.

To 18 13, the east coast of the United States, British general Ross led 4000 people to land in chesapeake bay on the east coast of the United States on August 19, and went straight to Washington, DC. The us military concentrated 7000 regular troops and militia to meet the attack. However, as soon as the British vanguard of 300 troops launched a charge, the American army was wiped out. President Madison and members of the government fled to the mountains of Virginia. British troops easily occupied Washington. In retaliation for the US military burning down the Parliament Building in Toronto, the British army also set fire to the White House, Parliament Building and other buildings. The United States has since given up its territorial claim to Canada. Since then, Americans have turned their attention to the land of Mexico and Indians for territorial expansion.
