The phrase "war is the catalyst of history" is often attributed to various historians and thinkers, but it is most closely associated with the German philosopher Karl Marx. He emphasized the role of conflict and struggle in shaping societal development. While there isn't a direct quote attributed to him that uses this exact wording, the sentiment reflects his views on the impact of class struggle and warfare on historical progress.

Why does the war of 1812 loom so much larger in Canadian history than in American?

It has often been said that the history of wars are written by the winners of those wars. Since Canada won the War of 1812, the history of it was written by and for Canadians. It has also often been said that the losers of wars tend to forget about those wars. Since the US lost the War of 1812, there has been a strong tendency to ignore it.
