World War 2 Research Flip Book

The War of 1812 was fought on land in North America and at sea from 1812 to 1815. There were many reasons that brought on the war. One of them was due to the fact that the British were harassing the American ships, and seizing the American sailors while at sea and pressing them to serve in the British Navy. This is known as Impressment. Another reason was that the British were supporting Native American tribes in an effort to stop the United States from expanding west.

Due to the British forces already fighting Napoleon in Europe, the Canadian militia and the Native Americans joined forces with the British soldiers. Fighting began on the 18th June, 1812, when the United States declared war on the British and attacked their colony of Canada.

The war was supposed to end after the two countries signed the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium on December 24, 1814. The fighting continued into January 1815 as the combat forces didn’t know about the treaty.
