Tchaikovsky. The piece was written about the Russian victory over Napoleon; it was NOT about the British-American War of 1812.
1812 Overture
Yes, Petr ll'ich Tchaikovsky wrote the 1812 overture.
1812 ... The 1812 Overture.
The most famous overture is the 1812 overture, celebrating the defeat of Napoleon. Tschaikovsky also wrote other overtures, most notable the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, also the Manfred Overture. There are probable others which I cannot think of at the moment, but these are less famous and less interesting. My favorite i the Romeo and Juliet Overture. note:The Manfred Overture was by Robert Schumann. Tchaikovsky wrote a four-movement program symphony titled Manfred.
The 1812 Overture celebrates the 70th anniversary of Russia's victory over Napoleon in 1812. The piece was written by Tchaikovsky, and he was commissioned by Cathedral of Christ the Savior to write it.

Tchaikovsky was Russian and he wrote it in Russia to celebrate a Russian military victory, so the answer is clear.

Moscow - the Battle of Borodino, in 1812.
Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky wrote the "1812 Overture" in commemoration of Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the British-American war of the same year.
Война и миръ (War and Peace) and the 1812 Overture are both about the Napoleonic invasion of Russia
