The war that Canada won

Most people in the Britain have never heard of the War of 1812 whose 200th anniversary is of course this year. Many Americans know little about it either. But the event has a special resonance in Canada.

The war was between the United States and Britain and, in course of it, the Americans made repeated but failed attempts to invade Canada.

If you are a diligent reader of NightHawk, you will know about this war because I blogged about it in this posting.

Today the ‘Guardian” newspaper has a short article on the war that Canada ‘won’ and you can read it here.
