Best Answer

United States, which attacked Canada, Great Britain, which controlled Canadian territory, Canadians, and natives.

Canadian militia and natives made up 75% of the defenders, with British soldiers making up the remaining 25%.

While Canada was not yet a country, the territories along the St-Lawrence had already been known collectively as Canada for two centuries, and the term 'Canadian', used to describe the inhabitants, easily predates the term 'American'.
The countries who fought in the War of 1812 were the United States and the United Kingdom. This war spanned a period of 2 and a half years.
