Date: 2012-08-05 01:59 pm (UTC)Personally, my favourite descriptor of the War of 1812 is from TVTropes (of all places...) which states that it was glossed over because a bigger, more expensive, and ultimately more important war was being fought between the world powers of the time in Europe. The war of 1812 was technically an offshoot of the Napoleanic wars really.
I suppose most countries use a war as a defining point of their history. Canadians didn't have a war of indepedence, save for a few small scale uprisings, so we used 1812.
