10. Who won the War of 1812?

No one.

But both sides took away something they wanted from that war and both sides lost something they had before that war.

It was a stupid way to solve problems.

20. Thomas Jefferson once said....

That taking Canada was "a mere matter of marching". In other words, he expected the residents of Upper and Lower Canada would abandon England and join the Americans in their "radical" experiment of self-government.

The afore-mentioned residents had different ideas. They knew they weren't Americans and they knew they were not exactly British property, either.

Thus was born the idea of Canada as a sovereign nation. It was a VERY significant achievement for Canadians. Not so much for the British.

11. reading further on the wiki link

The Americas didn't win. The objective was to first take Upper Canada which they couldn't do. As I read the stats The Canadians/British controlled more lakes and rivers and killed more Americans. Plus America retreated back to America burning some villages on their way out. That's not winning, that's being a poor loser. No matter which way one looks at it the Americas objective was plain and simple to take over Canada and they retreated. strategically stand point they took more weapons when more British troops arrived they never returned. It's A Canadian win because this is not the first time America had tried to invade Canada and it was also not the first time America had failed.
