One of my friends recently shared with me an opinionif his, which stunned me, that Britian and the USA may have entered a war during the 1810's. He said such a war could have been sparked by the US if it's anger over Britian's trade restrictions, impressment of US citizens into the British Navy, and aiding Native Americans agianst US expansion had reached a slightly higher point than it did. I highly dought the the US would have done this though b/c even though it may have desired land in Canada it doubt it had the military power to fight Britian at the time. Also the British had Napoleon to worry about during this time so I have not reason to believe they would have given the Americans much bother if they wanted war and may have handled problems more politicaly so that they could keep more military men in Europe. Since no such war actually occured how might America, Britian, and the world be different from today if it had?
