The War of 1812 had a positive impact on trading in the US in several ways. Firstly the US was able to gain more economic freedom from Great Britain which had been blocking US trading with France. This allowed the US to trade with France and other countries leading to increased economic growth. Additionally the war led to the establishment of protective tariffs in the US which enabled the US to protect its domestic industry from competition from foreign goods. This helped to ensure that US businesses could compete on a level playing field with foreign businesses. Finally the war led to the establishment of the US Navy which provided protection for US trading ships in the Atlantic and Caribbean allowing US merchants to safely conduct trade without fear of attack.

Even if the Soviet Union and the United States were not directly involved, the cold war influenced decisions.

I remember studying this last year. Briefly, the Soviet Union believed in communism and the US believed in freedom, and this caused a lot of tension especially when the threats started.

The battle of Verdun was simply a German derived strategy to bleed the French army dry. Attrition, attrition, attrition. The German leadership knew that the French would never break at Verdun so more and more troops were fed into the meat grinder. Of course German losses were horrendous too.

New York was the turning point of the revolutionary war.

The Japanese cowardly sneak attack created intense public hatred of " Japs " overnight, whether residents and even long-time citizens of both the USA and Canada.

Nazi German and Italian aggression in Europe was ignored by the American public up until Pearl Harbor. Then indifference to foreign affairs dramatically changed to outrage and immediate hatred of the " super-races of the world " overnight.

Long lineups [ sometimes several blocks long ] at many military recruiting offices in America sprang up into existence the very next day after the surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor.

This hatred intensified when it was revealed that the Japanese ambassador to the US had been treacherously urging a peaceful relationship up to the very last minute before the sneak attack. Then it was learned that results of the bombing had been telephoned back to the homeland by Japanese resident spies.

Thus the " not to be trusted at all " security precautions and policies of the Canadian and American governments towards all Japanese, and the subsequent restrictive measures to ensure national security of both countries.
