St.josephfuck you op, if your big brother America wasn't there who the fuck knows what would happen to you dweebs.

SaskyskierIf you weren't completely retarded you'd know shwarzenegger is from Austria...

LonelyI feel like you're the kind of person, when asked to name a country that begins with a U, you say "yugoslavia" and act like you're all smart and cultured.

californiagrownYou are aware he is american though, correct? Cause that bamf surely is. Literally the opitomy of the american dream.





Haha you're the kind of person who thinks there still exists a country called yugoslavia. I know it takes a while for world news to travel all the up to canuckistan, but a decade? Damn!

LonelyThat's the joke, which I guess was too complicated and went right over your head. Oh well.


Also 100% American born and raised

AnathemaPoutine. Canada wins.

californiagrownno, that wasnt the joke. you just fucked up and got called out. But in typical american form you tried to pass the blame for your own fuckup.

god damn americans. SMH.

DingoSeane BC, WA, and OR and make our own country? That would be way cooler. Build a water pipeline down instead of an Oil pipeline? We'll pay for it because we'd own Apple, Microsoft, AND Google. Unstoppable.

Granite_StateWait do Canadians think they won the war of 1812 or were even primarily involved? Lol!

VinnieFno, we know the British won the war of 1812 but yes those who lived in what later became Canada (what you would call Canadians, not soldiers off the ship) were heavily involved and them along with the Natives are a huge reason reason why the British won.

Granite_StateWait wut? Do they teach you in Canada that the British won the war of 1812? lol. Not even close. If anything it was a stalemate. Yeah America suffered defeats when they pushed too far into Canada but the British suffered equal defeats on the border and in the South.

pow_pow~

VinnieFha. yeah no Canada (British won).

Here's how it went down (just read a bit on it):

1812: US declares war for 2 main reasons, 1- land acquisition by invading Canada and 2- to end trade blockades in place by the British.

between 1812 and 1814: British and Canadians have fended off any American incursions onto Canadian soil, not much has changed in the way of trade restrictions.

1814: British finish up with Napoleonic Wars and are able to send a shitload of troops to the States and take over a bunch of land in the NE, burn Washington, and fail at a couple big invasions like Plattsburge.

British and US don't care any more about keeping the war going, so the sign a treaty at Ghent. At the signing of this treaty the US had achieved none of its goals. Trade restrictions were still in place and they managed to get none of Canada.

The British then attack New Orleans and lose badly (not knowing that a treaty was signed) and then the war actually ends. People think the defeat at New Orleans is the Americans winning, but really it's not.

Trade restrictions are then lifted later because of pressure by British nobility since they're not making money on trades.


So to sum up:
-US wants to take over Canada and end trade restrictions
-US fails to invade Canada and end trade restrictions
-trade restrictions lifted after war because of internal British pressures
-US thinks they won because last battle in the south was a victory against the British.
-really Canada and British won
-really Natives lost because they had the largest casualties and gained nothing.
-US still gained nothing so definitely didn't win.

Granite_StateYou missed quite a few facts in there pal.

First and foremost, the British had not only a much larger army and navy but also the help of far more Indian tribes as well as the Spanish. Second it is important to note that the U.S. started the war not because they wanted Canadian lands (that came after) but because of the trade blockade you mentioned along with impressment of American sailors and the British arming natives to thwart further American expansion. If it weren't for those British actions the war would most likely never have happened.

You simply glossed over all the American victories as well. Plattsburgh was a crucial battle that kept THE BRITISH from INVADING New York. Americans also thwarted British efforts on Lake Champlain, the main waterway connected to the St. Lawrence and successful took Lake Eerie, all without a sufficient navy. As an American I know New Orleans wasn't an important tactical victory in any way.

Sure the British burned D.C., mainly because U.S. troops were vastly outnumbered and spread too thin. Then the British marched to Baltimore where they got their asses kicked.

So basically the Canadians and British won the majority of battles at the beginning of the war and the Americans won the majority of battles at the end of the war. There WAS a stalemate and national borders remained the same. Literally nothing changed. I'm not saying it was an American victory by a long shot, but it certainly wasn't a defeat.

VinnieFbut the fact remains that none of the American objectives for starting the war were attained, and Canada's only objective of not being invaded was successful. The only way one can read this is that Canada was victorious. The US was not.

S.J.WNever get an American to admit they lost a war. It's impossible. The US still thinks they won Vietnam

VinnieFRegardless, 2 people with little to no credibility in the matter arguing over an internet forum about who won the war isn't going to change anything or anybody's opinion. Actual historians with actual credibility and actual sources on actual mountains still argue about who won the War of 1812.

I'll change my interpretation to this:
- Canada won. Their objective was to not get invaded. Success = win.
- British didn't win or lose. Nothing changed for them.
- U.S. lost their invasion of Canada, but in the end won getting trade restrictions lifted.

And I think it's fair to call Canada and Britain 2 entities in this. Canada being those who lived there and fought off the American assaults until British sent their large forces in.

LonelyHaha I was looking for that video

DingoSeanI still can't believe people are that stupid.. lol.


Though, I will say, I have had Canadians think the president of California is Arnold Schwartzeneggar. That was fun. I played it off like we were our own country.

Granite_StateThere's stupid people all over the world. I find it funny the majority of these "stupid americans" videos are either somewhere in the south or on venice beach, CA, where the largest congregation of morons seem to gather.
