War of 1812

Introduction:

We, the United States of America, stunned the world by declaring war to Great Britain. This happened in a warm day at the Canadian border, in the Chesapeake Bay region, and along the Gulf of Mexico. During the 1790s, French and British maritime policies produced several crises with the our country, but after 1803 the difficulties became much more serious. The British tried to channel all neutral trade to continental Europe and France declared Britain in a state of blockade. We, of course tried to tried to change the policy of both countries because of economic means, but it did not work. Later, we argued for a declaration of war to redeem the national honor.

On January 18, 1812 we were not ready for war and our hopes in conquering Canada collapsed in the campaigns of this year. The initial plan called for a three-pronged offensive: from Lake Champlain to Montreal; across the Niagara frontier; and into Upper Canada from Detroit. However, the attacks were not coordinated at all and we failed, and our troops lost the Battle of Queenston Heights in October.

On 1813, we attempt Canada but it was really unsuccessful. We attempted to attack Montreal by a combined operation involving one force advancing along Lake Champlain and down the Saint Lawrence River from Lake Ontario, but it failed. The only success was in the West, we won control of the Detroit frontier region. This forced Britian to retreat eastward from Detroit.
