Показать описание
The United States declared war on Great Britain on June 18th, 1812.
Niagara would become a major battlefield, with just a river dividing two feuding nations.
Under Major General Isaac Brock’s command, the British army and the Canadian militia had several early victories. But more importantly, they established a far-reaching loyalty with the Native Nations. It gave Brock one of the most important alliances of the war – with the great Shawnee war chief, Tecumseh. That alliance would ultimately determine the fate of this young country - and it still reverberates today.

You're certainly missing a lot of stuff. What about British impressment of American sailors, the assault on Fort McHenry, the Battle of New Orleans, etc?
