1812 is widely regarded as the climax of the fighting, and it was a year in which Canada had heavy losses. The continued Empire soldiers pouring to help help hardly made relations worse, and since many soldiers stayed on afterwards, the cementing of Canada into the Empire, and later the Commonwealth, was assured.
(OOC: Good save?)
OOC: Good enough. I really do want to see Chinese Zulus fighting Fijian Welsh though...
IC: Interesting point, but considering the conflicts against the Spanish in Mexico and Granada would last until 1818, 1812 isn't really a good date to say "The climax of the fighting" Anyways, basically, we all agree that the First French War is the only real hope for the Anglophone Commonwealth never to form...
