The Mexican War between the United States and Mexico began with a Mexican attack on American troops along the southern border of Texas on Apr. 25, 1846. Fighting ended when U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott occupied Mexico City on Sept. 14, 1847; a few months later a peace treaty was signed (Feb. 2, 1848) at Guadalupe Hidalgo. In addition to recognizing the U.S. annexation of Texas defeated Mexico ceded California and , New Mexico (including all the present-day states of the Southwest) to the United States.

According to a few websites I found, it was from June 1812 to the spring of 1815.\n\nHere's a good resource.\nhttp://www.gatewayno.com/history/War1812.html

British\n\n[modified below to provide source]\n"British forces march on Washington. At a brief battle on the road, known as the Battle of Bladensburg; the British forces defeat the American forces, who withdraw in disarray, thus opening the road to Washington. The British burn the White House and the Capitol, but the rest of Washington is saved by a strong rain storm. The British, under orders not to hold any territory, withdrew."\nhttp://www.historycentral.com/1812/Washington.html\n\n[another modification to provide some more details]\nI'm not a historian, so I will not pretend to be an expert on this subject.  However, I am learning more details as I go along in the effort to more fully answer your question.  At this point, this is more of a challenge and just plain fun, so it doesn't matter if you should choose this as a best answer or not.  The thrill is in the hunt.\n\nWhat I've determined so far is that the burning of Washington (and the White House) was performed by parts of the British Army stationed along the East Coast. Although the Canadian militia did fight on the side of the British, it seems that they were primarily in the Great Lakes regions where they comprised nearly half of the British forces.  The Great Lakes region was a separate theatre of operations during the war. \n\nThe war was conducted in four theatres of operations:\nThe Atlantic Ocean \nThe Great Lakes and the Canadian frontier \nThe coast of the United States \nThe Southern States \n\nThe commander of the British forces on the East Coast was General Robert Ross who served under Admiral Cockburn.  These two men are credited with leading the forces responsible for the burning of Washington.  From my reading, it appears that Ross probably actually led the forces, while Cockburn received credit as the commander of British Naval forces along the US coastal, providing the means for the landing of the ground forces, and as Ross' superior officer.\n\nRoss, himself, commanded a 4500-man army, comprised of the 4th (King's Own) Light, 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot, and 85th Regiment of Foot.\n\n(The British commander of the Great Lakes forces was Major-General Sir Isaac Brock.)\n\nThere doesn't seem to be any significant work, citable references, or other resources that indicate any ties between the Canadian militia that served in the Great Lakes with Ross' East Coast forces that participated in the burning of Washington.\n\nFrom additional reading, it would seem that the attack on Washington and Baltimore was performed by components of the British as a diversion so that the British forces in the north (with Canadians) could repel the continual attacks from US forces and make an incursion into the US.\n\n\nSo, it would seem, in my opinion, that it was not Canadians that burned down the White House.  Although Canadians fought alongside the British in the Great Lakes region, they were not instrutmental in Cockburne's and Ross' forces on the East Coast that actually did the burning.  Further, just because the British Army in one region contained Canadian militia members, I don't think it would be correct to conclude, in any respect, that Canadians should get 'credit' for burning down the White House.  That would be like saying that Latvia gets the historical credit for the invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Hussein.  They had men in the coalition forces, after all.

The War of 1812 was fought between the United States of America and Great Britain and its colonies in British North America (later Canada) from 1812 to 1815 on land and sea. The war formally began on June 18, 1812, with a U.S. declaration of war.\n\nOverview\nThe war took place against the global backdrop of the long struggle between Britain, with a shifting series of European allies, and the French and European empire of Napoleon. In the first decade of the 1800s each side forbade neutral nations to trade with the other side, but only the British (with its dominant Royal Navy) could impose these restrictions upon a burgeoning American merchant marine which had begun to trade worldwide. In addition to their search for contraband, the British stopped American ships to remove sailors whom they regarded as British subjects and, always desperate for trained manpower in the long wars with France, pressed them into service in the Royal Navy. Some British captains were not careful to ensure that these seamen were in fact British rather than American citizens.\n\nThe United States and Britain came to the brink of war in 1807 when the British ship HMS Leopard stopped the American frigate USS Chesapeake just outside American territorial waters. When the American vessel refused to be inspected, the British fired into the frigate, boarded it and removed four seamen whom the British captain claimed to be deserters. Although the British apologized, they did not end their stop and search practices.\n\nThe Americans had hoped for a quick win in the war, since Britain was at war with France under Napoleon. British forces responded to the declaration by the capture of Fort Mackinac on July 17, after the US force under U.S. General William Hull had invaded Canada July 12 at Sandwich (now known as Windsor, Ontario). The British later captured Detroit after turning back an American invasion of Upper Canada in the summer of 1812. The United States defeated combined British and Native Americans armies with victories at the Battle of the Thames, in October 1813, and at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, in March 1814, but by this time, Britain had successfully concluded the Napoleonic wars and the British were finally able to divert more resources to North America.\n\nDespite several notable successes by U.S. frigates and the menace of American privateers to British trade, the Royal Navy established a strict blockade of American trade causing economic hardship. On land, the U.S. invasion of Canada was swiftly repulsed, and British forces counterattacked across the border, burning Washington, D.C., and occupying the territories that would later become the state of Maine. But the British counteroffensive was turned back at Lake Champlain, Baltimore, and New Orleans. The Treaty of Ghent (ratified in 1815) restored the status quo ante bellum --that is the exact geographical situation as before.\n\nOn the Great Lakes border, more than half of the British forces were made up of Canadian militia. Additionally, many North American Indian peoples had their own reasons for fighting alongside either the British or the Americans. In the Northwest Territory, the War was, in a sense, a continuation of Tecumseh's War after the Indian defeat at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 up to Battle of the Thames in 1813.\n\nSome histories refer to this war as the "War of 1812–14", using the date of the peace treaty as the ending date of the war.\n\n\n[edit] Origins\nMain article: Origins of the War of 1812\nThe main reasons for America declaring war on the British were:\n\nThe boarding of American ships by the Royal Navy to search for alleged deserters, and the forced impressment of American and naturalized American citizens as British seamen. \nThe trade embargoes by Britain and France during the Napoleonic Wars, which resulted in the seizure of hundreds of American merchant ships. \nAmerican Expansionists noticed that the Canadian colonies were only lightly defe

The 1812 Overture is an orchestral work by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky commemorating the unsuccessful French invasion into Russia, and the subsequent devastating withdrawal of Napoleon's Grande Armée, an event that marked 1812 as the major turning point of the Napoleonic Wars. The work is best known for the sequence of cannon fire, which is sometimes performed, especially at outside festivals, using real cannons. Although the composition has no historical connection with the War of 1812 between the United States and the United Kingdom, it is often performed in the US alongside other patriotic music.\n\nThe overture debuted in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on August 20, 1882.

The First World War, or (before 1939) the Great War, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia, and, after 1917, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire). The war caused the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe and the Middle East.

If you're talking about the American Revolution, it started with the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Lord Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown was (I think) in October 1781.

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,[1] was a conflict that erupted between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776. The war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them. After an American victory at Saratoga in 1777, France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the war against Great Britain. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States.\n\nNote that this article covers military actions only; for political and social developments, including the origins and aftermath of the war, see the article on the American Revolution.

War of 1812, Mexican war of 1846-48, Spanish War 1898, World War I, and World War II.  I dont have a source just what I have learned throughout my life and in college, congress never declared war in any other conflict, they were just actions by president, but look it up on Wikipedia.  We never declared war in the Revolution so the person before me is wrong.  We declared independence and we had to fight for it, we did not declare war( at least not formally) because they were factions in out government that wanted to reconcile with Britain.  I do think the congress declared war on the barbary pirates but im not sure.

We have had two wars with Britian, the American Revolution and the War of 1812.  The American Revolution had many causes including taxes without corresponding representation in the British Parliament. Also resentment of the Quartering of British soldiers in colonist homes, the Boston Massacre, and the British punishment of Boston for the Boston Tea party. The War of 1812 was fought because the British were kidnapping American sailors off of American ships, and the British provoking Indians to attack Americans.

The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States of America. Because a great number of colonists fled the thirteen colonies and settled in the north, the war also paved the way for the eventual creation of what would become Canada.
