The two countries came to war in 1775-1783 in the American War of Independence when the American colonies wanted to become independent. They were at war again in 1812-1815 after America declared war on Britain (and Canada) over reasons such as British support for the indigenous population who were being wiped out. The real reason however was to try and grab Canada from Britain like they later stole California and Texas and Hawaii. America lost 2,200 men.
