Just wanted to through my opinion in here, but didn’t we technically win the war of 1812.
Cause think of it, America attacked us hoping for Canada (British Colony at the time) to be absorbed into their country, and also to show Britain that they were their own country.
True America gained its independence but I bet if Great Britain wasn’t so exhausted after the Napoleonic Wars, or even was occupied by one at the time the USA would have been crushed even further.
But Canada pushed back America, back into the heart of their own lands, and at the war’s end America lost more than they gained (true both sides lost much, it being a war and all).
But i think Canada gained a bigger and more devasting victory, with some statistics from
