The United States declared war in 1812 primarily due to ongoing tensions with Great Britain, which included the impressment of American sailors into the British Navy and restrictions on U.S. trade. Additionally, there were grievances related to British support for Native American resistance against American expansion in the Northwest Territory. The desire to assert national sovereignty and territorial expansion also fueled the call for war. Ultimately, these factors culminated in President James Madison asking Congress to declare war on June 1, 1812.
