	War of 1812 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In British texts, the War of 1812 is sometimes known as the British-American War, to distinguish it from the concurrent British involvement in the Napoleonic Wars.
		Although the War of 1812 ended in a stalemate and is often only dimly remembered, the war had many effects on the futures of those involved.
		The War of 1812 had little impact in Great Britain and was generally forgotten, since it was considered to be insignificant when compared to the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo on 18 June 1815.
