VLI/VIEC - The War of 1812 Terminology

Zhilikam t'Ahkh t'1812

The War of 1812, fought between the United States and Great Britain, was a pivotal event in the 19th Century C.E. of Earth. It is considered to be an outgrowth of the Napoleanic Wars of Europe. The major defeat for the Americans was the brief occupation of Washington, D.C. by the British and the burning of several government buildings, including the President's Mansion (it was not called the White House yet). Dolley Madison, the president's wife, made sure that important papers and artifacts were saved before she evacuated. The major victory for the Americans was the Battle of New Orleans. Several American leaders of this war would later become Presidents of the United States, including James Monroe, Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison.

We used the letters, writings or memoirs of six veterans of the war, several books and biographies, two vintage publications and a number of internet references while researching this page.
