your right it is sad that americans think they have never lost a war or ever will

[galderton]

You are just another ignorant american who knows nothing about any country outside of america....get your facts straight about the war of 1812..perhaps you should watch a youtube video called "talking to americans"....by rick mercer...it pretty much sums up the intellectual level of a significant portion of the american population....

A much, much better and more fair documentary may be found at PBS Video, 'The War of 1812', but I have to admit this History Channel film has some great battle sequences if you're just into the flashing of the flintlocks.

the british and canadians did good during most of the war, however twards the end the americans started to get ahold of things.

@Emeraldmist16

actually, out of kindness, USA Won. ONLY Because our incompetant commanders did not order Defense scheme no.1 (a win-win situation with even Napoleon losing.)

@Emeraldmist16 If you want to learn of a historical event such as the 100 years war do you only research one side of the conflict? The documentary is garbage. No mention of Tecumseh or Native perspective. The 1st 2 years of the war which saw huge US humiliations & outrages committed left out. Focusing only on British retaliation while ignoring US crimes that inspired it. The show creates an illusion of British aggression & US as defenders.

Jingoistic & Insulting to the intelligence.

This was a great documentary (:

And to the idiots out there: NEITHER SIDE WON THIS WAR. Yes, British burned Washington and they won all the early battles. But the Americans won all of the major battles at the end (and even after) the war officially ended. The war ended in a stalemate. Neither country won. Have you ever taken a history class? Learn it before you bash everyone. Seriously.

your all british,we gave you your culture,we know you admire us brits,without us there would be no usa ,and a lot of other countries,so please respect your motherland:O)

[Thebusanbill]

@crossskulled I totally agree with you. These stupid yanks just won't admit they were defeated.

[zanecody]

hahah amarica started the war of 1812....

[Eddythebeast666]

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent. Today we remember. Solemn Greetings on this Remembrance Veterans Poppy Armistice Day to all nations.

And for the for Americans/Canadians Please accept my salute on the anniversary of the Battle of Crysler's Farm Nov 11 1813.

[crossskulled]

What the fuck was that? The Americans, as usual, were the aggressors in this war.

Assholes from Ohio and Kentucky tried to take southern Ontario.

This is shit.
