Something wonderfully apt that on US Independence Day the part of British America that was not defeated by the Rebels (Canada) were here in London guarding their Head of State - An institution they defended in the 1790s ... And some very Canadian sounds for some classic marching music ... Allez Canadiennes ..

1chish I am so confused on what your trying to say. Are you trying to talk about the war of 1812 or America’s war with Britain? Those are 2 very different things. In the war of 1812 you can consider us Canadians as the people who were in British North America weren’t backed by Britain as they were fighting Napoleon. So it was the people who were in “Canada” fighting. In the war for independence America fought all of Britain not only the people in British North America so it’s not as much Canadians. Also Canada kicked America’s ass in the war of 1812, even though our numbers were much smaller then America’s numbers. It was a strategic mess up just like Vietnam, but it was with Britain. Canada held off the US fine without help from the bigger forces.

Karatedragon 1235 - No I was not referring to the War of 1812. I think my comment was clear enough that I was referring to the British Civil War fought in the 179os given I referred to 'rebels' and defined the territory as 'British America' (not 'British North America'). Americans call this Civil war between British Citizens and the British Government on British Territory as their 'Revolutionary War'. However if you wish to discuss the War of 1812 you maybe want to get some facts correct. It was not a 'Canadian' only war. There were British, First Nation led by Tecumseh and British North American forces involved. Let me give you some of the numbers: British Army: 5,200 (at war's start) 48,160 (at war's end) Provincial regulars: 10,000 Militia: 4,000 Yes the British were fighting Napoleon but then we were also fighting the French in the 1790s as well just as we had been fighting them in the Franco - Indian War (aka 7 Year War) before. In fact experienced British troops sailed from their successes in the Peninsular War to 'Canada' (amongst others from the UK) to assist those forces already there. It was British forces that destroyed Washington and burnt down the White House in revenge for the murder and burning down of houses by US forces as they retreated after their (4) failed attempts to invade British North America. It was the British Navy that attempted the attack on Baltimore (defeated by a British built fort). With the abdication of Napoleon, the blockade of France ended and the British were then able to increase the strength of the blockade on the United States coast, annihilating American maritime trade and bringing the United States government near to bankruptcy. so I am not sure where you get the idea that in the War of 1812 the British had no involvement. It was defending British territory! I fail to see where a comment that was meant as an admiring compliment could be interpreted in the context you did as some sort of insult let alone why you involved the War of 1812 .... Unless you had some ulterior motive?

1chish Okay let me start with this, you were not clear whatsoever I checked with a friend to see if they understood what you were trying to say. Second off like I said British Were fighting Napoleon and the war with the french happened before the napoleonic wars. The french lost and Britain gave them some land, it became upper and lower Canada. And the troops who were in Canada which involved First Nations, the french and British were fighting while majority were fighting Napoleon. And your comment is still unclear.
@adameleven76286 жыл бұрын
Also you said something about the US independence which only makes me think about the war and time period. Please don’t rant at me just because you didn’t write your original comment correctly. I’m just sick of (mainly Americans) saying they won all there wars and are the greatest country which is extremely egotistical.

Dear oh dear - I am British not American, I claimed nothing about any British achievements at all and was complimenting the Canadians from the RCAF doing a brilliant job. I referred to the date being US Independence Day - big deal. So I am at a loss to understand how anyone could be confused over the conflict to which I was referring given these contexts: 'US Independence Day' 'British America' 'Rebels' '1790s' But there we are
