War of 1812

The War of 1812 was America's failed invasion of Canada. At the time there were calls for Canada, then a British colony, to be annexed. Numbers were strongly in America's favour (population advantage) but the military consisted of raw, untrained recruits. After the Napoleonic Wars, Britain sent veterans to consolidate its forces at the border.
