What was the dispute leading to the War of 1812?
Correct answer: Freedom of the seas

It is known as the "the war of 1812" only in the US and maybe UK.
Most other people think of it as "the britis-american war of 1812".
The Napoleonic wars happened at the same time, so the question is a bit misleading.

how do you guess this is an American war. bigger east of the time was the defeat of Napoleon in Russia. Try to think beyond the US boundaries

Even though its called the war of 1812, my first idea is Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Ive never heard of this american war. I admit i have a lack of knowledge of american history, but in my opinion it would be better to ask the question in a better - clearer way. But on the other hand its always nice to learn something new. 😁

Saint John New Brunswick has a History with this war. We have Fort Howe and Martello Tower that were most instrumental in warding off the Americans.trying to take my Country.

It was during this war that the Battle of Baltimore was fought & Frances Scot Key wrote the US National Anthem while he observed the American flag still flying over Ft McHenry as the British retreated.

If you could bring yourself to set aside US propaganda you would realize the true reasons behind the growing US nationalism greed and US political opportunism during the Napoleanic war.

miha, It’s intended if I had to guess that they don’t want to make it too easy to guess the answer. Some head scratching has to go into finding correct choice.! ! !

it was a question about a specific war, not what was a bigger war, this or that 🙄
