The War of 1812's sea warfare was significant in two main fronts: Niagra and the Blockade of the Atlantic.  Brittain also played a small, but ironic, role.  There is a lot of detail into the Niagra conflict and should be researched indepth on your own. Read Carl Benn's The War of 1812 and various articles in the Madison Presidential Library.

Well, for starters the War of 1812 would never have been fought.  England might have eventually sold us to pay off the war debt.  We might have ended up speaking French or Spanish, or something else!  So we wouldn't be speaking English and we wouldn't have a lot of the same culture.  We wouldn't have had any of our early presidents so our country might not have expanded in what they called "manifest destiny."  We could still occupy only New England and we wouldn't be the longest lasting republic in the world.  Our constitution would not have been written and the abolitionists might never had succeeded.  Rights in all parts of the world might never have evolved.  Many countries might still have monarchies today, including us!

How about ww2?\n\nThe Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) grew 50-fold to a force of nearly 100,000 and played a crucial role in winning the Battle of the Atlantic and maintaining open the vital sea lanes to Britain in the face of a determined German submarine offensive.  The RCN also served in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific, and Arctic.  At war’s end it had become the world’s third-largest navy.Canada produced warships, merchant vessels, bombers, fighters, tanks, vehicles of all kinds, artillery pieces, and all sorts of military equipment and munitions, employing millions of people directly or indirectly.  Farms produced immense amounts of meat, grain, and other produce to help keep Canada, Britain, and the Allies fed and fighting.  It was a phenomenal accomplishment.

The novel begins on April 18, 1800, in Port Mahon, Minorca, at that time a base of the Royal Navy. Aubrey and Maturin are both at the Governor's Ball and meet for the first time. Maturin nudges Aubrey while they are listening to the quartet and provokes a challenge to a duel. On his return to his lodgings Aubrey finds that he has been given a command. His joy overcomes any animosoty towards Maturin and they become friends. As 'Master and Commander' and in charge of the sloop Sophie Aubrey has to strengthen his crew including the ship's surgeon and he persuades Maturin to fill this position, at least on a temporary basis.\n\nHe changes the armament of the ship and improved her sailing by adding a larger spar. He makes her ready to sail in convoy with twelve merchant vessels. During their journey east, the new Captain takes the opportunity to get to know his crew and to weld them into a fighting unit. As he does he and the crew explain many naval matters to Maturin, since the doctor is a novice sailor.\n\nEn route, they meet an Algerian quarter-galley who attacks their rearmost vessel, the Norwegian Dorthe Engelbrechtsdatter. The Sophie chases her off. Eventually having retrieved the Norse ship the convoy makes its destination off Cagliari. After a second convoy duty to Leghorn, Aubrey reports to Lord Keith in the Genoa roads.

Key Event: America Signs Treaty with Tripoli.\n\nSome more Key Events in President George Washington's Administration\n\n• Precedents---Washington established two main precedents: a cabinet and the two-year term.\n• Whiskey Rebellion, 1794---Washington ordered 15,000 troops to Pennsylvania and crushed the first challenge to federal authority.\n• Farewell Address, 1796---Washington warned against the evils of political parties and "tangling alliances" abroad. \n\n\nOn April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles." \n\nBorn in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. \n\nHe pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. \n\n   \n From 1759 to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters, Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly voiced his resistance to the restrictions. \n\nWhen the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia in May 1775, Washington, one of the Virginia delegates, was elected Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. On July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, he took command of his ill-trained troops and embarked upon a war that was to last six grueling years. \n\nHe realized early that the best strategy was to harass the British. He reported to Congress, "we should on all Occasions avoid a general Action, or put anything to the Risque, unless compelled by a necessity, into which we ought never to be drawn." Ensuing battles saw him fall back slowly, then strike unexpectedly. Finally in 1781 with the aid of French allies--he forced the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. \n\nWashington longed to retire to his fields at Mount Vernon. But he soon realized that the Nation under its Articles of Confederation was not functioning well, so he became a prime mover in the steps leading to the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. When the new Constitution was ratified, the Electoral College unanimously elected Washington President \n\nHe did not infringe upon the policy making powers that he felt the Constitution gave Congress. But the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a Presidential concern. When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British. Rather, he insisted upon a neutral course until the United States could grow stronger. \n\nTo his disappointment, two parties were developing by the end of his first term. Wearied of politics, feeling old, he retired at the end of his second. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to forswear excessive party spirit and geographical distinctions. In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances. \n\nWashington enjoyed less than three years of retir

Well, initially we were sending supplies over to Europe on ships that we told the Germans were just regular, simple ships...but, we were spying.  Next thing you know, our very conservative focus on ourselves (the attitude had been, this is Europe's war, not ours) turned outwards and we helped win the war...based on a variety of facts that are aptly available in a million places, namely your library or textbook.  good luck.

He knew (or at least supsected) that ship carried munitions to equip France and England aginst his forces. He may also have been lulled by the U.S stance of " isolatioism"which stated that the U.S was not interested in fighting a war in Europe at the time.
