Summary:\n\nThe War of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much like it started; in stalemate; it was in fact a war that once and for all confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American naval victories in which American vessels proved themselves superior to similarly sized British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Quasi War (an even more forgotten war) launched American naval traditions.\n\nWhile the British and Americans were negotiating a settlement, Federalist delegates selected by the legislatures of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire gathered in Hartford, Connecticut, in a meeting that symbolized opposition to "Mr. Madison's war." New England had managed to trade with the enemy throughout the conflict, and some areas actually prospered from this commerce. Nevertheless, the Federalists claimed that the war was ruining the economy. Some delegates to the convention advocated secession from the Union, but the majority agreed on a series of constitutional amendments to limit Republican influence, including prohibiting embargoes lasting more than 60 days and forbidding successive presidents from the same state. By the time messengers from the Hartford Convention reached Washington, D.C., however, they found the war had ended. The Hartford Convention stamped the Federalists with a stigma of disloyalty from which they never recovered.

I think so. \n\nBut I think its going to be Russia, China, N.Korea, and Iran against the USA and Brittain. Canada will probably help us but not sure if that counts for much. hehe

The UK is the best ally although strong arguments can be made for Australia.  Israel, Japan, and Poland are strong allies as well.  Not that you asked but I'd say Canada is currently our worst ally.  France, Germany, and those ilk don't really count as worst *ally* because they are not truly allies any longer.

its complicated.\nUK and US were allies. US helped with industry, which it sailed to UK. germany sunk some ships with US citizen eg the lusitania.\nmostly beacuse a lot of it allies, canada, australia, UK etc were fighting and US interests rested more with them than with Germany

I am Canadian, living in Canada, and am equally embarrassed about the "anti-war" sentiment in Canada and the negative impact this has had on the internal and traditional Canadian motivation to fight for what is right.\n\nAt the end of WWII, Canada had the third largest navy in the world.  While we have since become known (at least internally) as "peace-keepers", Canada does have a proud warrior past.\n\nI don't mean "warrior" in the sense of gratuitous warfare.  I mean "warrior" in the sense of going to war when liberty and justice dictate that it is right to do so.\n\nI believe that an important reason for the "anti-war" sentiment is the strong undercurrent of anti-Americanism that exists among many (but certainly not all) Canadians.  This exists for the same reasons it exists in Europe and elsewhere:  a sense of jealousy and helplessness in the face of the American juggernaut.  Certainly the USA is not perfect and we need to defend our national interests, but we should be VERY wary of accepting the "great satan" designation affixed to the proud chest of the Americans by the enemies of all of Western Civilization.\n\nThose opposing Canada's contribution to world liberty and democracy through battle should consider that their ability to protest involvement was built on the backs of soldiers.  War is bad, but sometimes necessary.  \n\nI just wish that more people understood that sometimes, things are truly worth fighting for.  It doesn't make the fighting enjoyable, but it does make it worthwhile, noble and right.

USA Foreign policy is freindly overall and they're certainly considered our allies, but Canada has a different political basis than we do. \n\nCanada has seen their own share of issues and they don't like to be seen as the "US' little brother" so they typically take a different political stance than we do-- most importantly on the Iraq war, where there was a semi-serious movement by some Canadian politicians to arrest Bush if he ever set foot on Canadian soil. (The likelihood of this ever happening was slim, but it certainly made a point throuhg it's rounds in the associated press carrying the story).

HATE TO DISAGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE...bUT THEY ARE WRONG IN ASSUMING THAT THE US WIOULD LOOSE AGAINST THE WORLD FOR ONE VERY GOOD REASON !!!\n    If the entire world's navies were combined, they MIGHT make a good show against the US's Atlantic Fleet.  But then they would have to deal with the US Pacific Fleet and no combination of world power would allow them to do that.  Oh, and let's not forget the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Med. Fleet.  \n     With control of the worlds oceans we are left with only Mexico, Central America, Canada and South America to control at first and they wouldn't stand a chance.  \n     With two continents under our control and with our Navy devastating world cities across the globe, how long till the rest of the world cries uncle?
