Best Answer

In the War of 1812, the US and British locked horns in a short war. The war was caused by British warships capturing Americans on the open seas. As an aside, the humiliating thing about that war was that the British burned down the Executive mansion. This is now called the White House.

This was Great Britain. This whole war was like an extension of the Revolutionary War between the two countries because England would not leave the United States.
