Why are you posting on the fucking history board?

You essentially had a number of unresolved issues dating from the Revolution. Westward expansion of the new American state and issues about Atlantic trade were the two biggest, most likely. Britain, despite formally recognizing American independence, was not according them the sort of treatment they'd give to another "real" country, like one in Europe.
>Affect in some way the Napoleonic Wars?
More the other way around. Britain started sending troops over in a big way in 1814, assuming an offensive footing, with the end of the war of the 6th coalition. They had been on the defensive mostly (except for a naval blockade) prior to that. They weren't stupid, what was going on in Europe was way more important to them than what was going on in a backwards continent.
>Which one was more fucked with the conflict,England or U.S.A?
The U.S. certainly took more damage, but at the same time, probably emerged stronger because of it. Back when I was in uni, one of my professors said that the biggest impact of the war was how it did what years of tariffs didn't; it forced America to start developing domestic industry instead of just importing stuff from Europe (almost all of it from Britain) traded for raw materials. That, in turn, would have huge consequences down the line.

>Why happened?
America believed Canada wanted to join the US, and wanted to stop British impressment into the navy.
>Who did literally nothing wrong?
Neither
>Who was the Autistic?
Please stop acting as if history is a fucking polandball comic
>Affect in some ways the Napoleonic wars?
No. Not really.
>Which one was more fucked with the conflict,England or U.S.A?
It did negligibly damage to both, though it was expensive short term for the us.

>The Year 1812, festival overture in E major, Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture,[1] is an overture written in 1880 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to commemorate Russia's defence of its motherland against Napoleon's invading Grande Armée in 1812.

So are several other songs, do you expect everyone to know why every song is written?
Do you not know Beethoven's inspiration for writing Moonlit Sonata off the top of your head?
would you crucify an expert on the Aztec for not knowing a trivia fact about a song?
Xavier Nelson
Holy shit, you can literally just google '1812 overture' and find it's about the Napoleonic invasion of russia. What do you want me to give you?

'Having conquered most of Europe, Napoleon led an army of 600,000 into Russia beginning in June 1812. It would be an ill-fated invasion that crippled Napoleon’s hold on Europe.
Tchaikovsky’s piece begins solemnly, with “divided cellos and strings intoning the quiet, even mournful hymn ‘God Preserve Thy People’” to represent the mood of the Russian people following Napoleon’s declaration of war, according to Sonia Knox of the Burgess Hill Symphony Orchestra.'
'Now, many American’s believe that Tchaikovsky’s overture represents the USA’s victory against the British Empire during the War of 1812, however, Tchaikovsky’s music actually tells the story of Napoleon’s retreat from Russia in 1812.'

Considering the 18112 piece, is next to Ode to Joy the most played orchestra music, the analogy hardly works.
>would you crucify an expert on the Aztec for not knowing a trivia fact about a song?
An aztec Expert shouldn't be posting in a thread about the Qing.
