Napoleonic British Lot
War of 1812............?
HEY
in the war of 1812 even though it was a tie, didn't BOTH side win?
The British
Britain had crushed the Americans that tried to Invade Canada
Burned Washington, Including the White house
The British had taken tens of thousands Square kilometers of new land from the Americas
The British had also killed more Americans, then the Americans did British.
Britain had fended of a attack on one of its Colonies thousands of miles away even during the Napoleonic wars, the most bloody in History at that time.
The Americans
But on the other hand
America had stood up to the worlds superpower and had not been defeated.
America got lots more land from the Native americans.
America was recognized as a country that could stand up for itself
So there wasn't any loser in the war? Dint they BOTH win?
As the Americans were the ones who declared war (a war the British just didn't want), I don't see how they can be described as 'standing up' to Britain.
On the whole,you're right in your assertion, although America failed dismally in its main war aim,the conquest of Canada.
The defeat and abdication of Napoleon in 1814 removed most of the causes of tension between the 2 sides,the main reason both sides quickly agreed to the mutually facesaving Treaty of Ghent (December 1814),which failed to actually address the American pretexts for starting the war.

| | British Napoleonic Uniforms (Hardcover) $99.33 For the first time in print a book identifies each regiment and illustrates the change in uniforms, the color of the facings, and the nature and shape of the lace for the officers, NCOs, and private soldiers over the period of the Napoleonic War 1793–1815. Changes to the uniforms of all the numbered regiments of cavalry and infantry are discussed in detail, while lavish illustrations present every aspect of their regimental distinctions. The book is divided into four parts, with the first part considering the uniforms of the Heavy and Light cavalry regiments, including full-page color illustrations of the Household Cavalry, the Heavy Cavalry (Dragoon Guards and Dragoons), and the Light Cavalry (the Light Dragoons and Hussars). Part Two looks at the commonalities of the cavalry and considers uniforms appropriate to each regiment, such as headwear, the evolution of the uniforms, and horse furniture. Part Three discusses the uniforms and distinctions of the infantry, including the regiments of Foot Guards and Infantry of the Line (Fusiliers, Light Infantry, Riflemen, and Highland Regiments). Part Four shows the commonalties of the infantry and considers the uniform appropriate to each regiment, such as those of the Drummers and Highland Regiments, as well as their tartans. |

| | Napoleonic Naval Armaments 1792-1815 $31.31 There were many elements to British Napoleonic naval success but one of the key factors was gunnery. Other countries developed different naval weapons to fit their maritime strategies. The French and Spanish systems developed on similar lines, while those of the Baltic navies tended to rely on smaller craft and weapons. Holland, during this period, was part of the French sphere of influence and this had an effect on the development of its naval weapons. This title describes the systems of all these countries as well as the fledgling navy of America, whose gunnery skills embarrassed the Royal Navy at the height of their dominance. |

| | Napoleonic Heavy Cavalry Tactics (Paperback) $28.13 During the Napoleonic Wars the supreme battlefield shock weapon was the heavy cavalry - the French cuirassiers, and their British, Austrian, Prussian and Russian counterparts. Big men mounted on big horses, the heavy cavalry were armed with swords nearly a metre long, used for slashing or thrusting at their opponents; many wore steel armour, a practice revived by Napoleon. They were tasked with smashing a hole in the enemy`s line of battle, with exploiting a weakness, or with turning a flank. Their classic manoeuvre was the charge; arrayed in close-order lines or columns, the heavy cavalry would begin their attack at the walk, building up to a gallop for the final 50 metres before impact.Illustrated with diagrams, relevant paintings and prints and specially prepared colour plates, this is the first volume of a two-part study of the cavalry tactics of the armies of Napoleon and those of his allies and opponents. Written by a leading authority on the period, it draws upon drill manuals and later writings to offer a vivid assessment of how heavy cavalry actually fought on the Napoleonic battlefield. |

a possible outcome of the 1812 war?
I dont like to talk about history using the word "if" but im curious.
according to historians if the napoleonic war never happened then the war of 1812 would have -Most likely- resulted in the reconquering of america by great britain.
would that have been so bad? the americansduring that time were mainly of british descent (with the odd dutch), a lot of canadians are from british descent (except for the french), and being part of the most powerful and influential empire of that era would have been good for all the americans, then years and years later they would have probably been given their independence and you would have a unified north america, with a lot more stars on the flag, meaning a far more powerful country, i think it would be a country to be reckoned with.
i would like to hear your opinions?
*i prefer unbiased ones and no offense intended to anybody
does "if" even class as a word?
Without the Napoleonic Wars, there wouldn't have been any War of 1812.
The war was started by the Americans - who declared war and invaded Canada - because they wanted to conquer Canada for the USA.They thought this would be easy, as Britain was busy with a long term life and death struggle against Napoleonic France at the time - The US government didn't think that Britain had the resources to successfully defend Canada, that's why they started the war.
So, no Napoleonic Wars, no War of 1812.Anyway, Britain had neither the desire nor intention of reconquering America during the War of 1812; their strategy was to cripple the US economy sufficiently to force the Americans into a negotiated peace (in which they were successful).
Standing General Orders for the British navy were " to destroy and lay waste such towns and districts along the coast as you may find assailable" - hardly the best strategy to be followed if the ultimate aim is conquest and permanent occupation.
