This is America not England. We can speak how we want to speak. We don't have to follow you cause you ruled us in the 1700s. Also, stop saying that we pronounce stuff wrong. Accents.

Also when you combine North America and South America, that makes America. NOT the USA.

War of 1812, Americans would have lost if England didn't make them an offer.

The War of 1812 was a draw. Britain was preoccupied with the Napoleonic Wars which is why they offered.

If you live in the British Isles or Canada then yes your biased history books will make it look like the British won. Same to American history books which will make it look like they won, too.

Considering the Americans took significantly more Fatalities and Causualties than the British, I'd say the British won.

Also, i'm from Iceland and my history book says the Americans lost roughly a thousand more soldiers than the British.
I have multiple sources that say this too.

People refer to North and South America as THE AMERICAS, not America. And what are we supposed to call people from the United States? United Statians?

The British won the War of 1812.

the Americans lost over 6000 soldiers whereas the British lost about 2000-3000
And it was the British who demanded America sign a treaty and that America was in no state to demand anything from the British.

^ The British burnt down Washington D.C and marched miles into America before finally being stopped as a result of Constant American attack

They sucsessfully rid Canada of Americans.

The British sent a treaty over and the Americans signed it under British demand.

The British won the war of 1812.
The Americans NEVER give credit to the Brits or Canadians for their successes. I can name many examples, if you want some I will.
The British burnt Washington DC, won more battles and the last battle, crushed EVERY invasion force sent into Canada, and, TECHNICALLY, the Americans completed none of their objectives as a result of the actual war, rather than voluntarily. The British completed their only objective, which was to defend Canada. They VOLUNTARILY stopped taking sailors because they didn't actually NEED them anymore. And if taking Canada wasn't an objective from the start, it had most certainly become one. The British actually stopped stopping American ships BEFORE the war even started. So there you go...

:P

Another thing to point out is that the Americans lost MUCH more men in nearly every battle.

Rome lost more battles and more men against Hannibal of Carthage but Rome went on to become great empire while Carthage reduced to rubble

You sort of, Contradicted yourself there.
When you were arguing with me, one of your points were that the Americans won most Major battles.

The people whom you are referring to did not come from India. Do not call them as so.

You know we're talking about the natives of America; We're talking about the War of 1812.
