Because the overture celebrates the Battle of Borodino in 1812, in which Russia defeated Napoleon and the French.
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.

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" of Tchaikowsky, which is the only reason most of us know of the war.
