 1812 And All That
It is interesting that the United States was at war with someone practically continuously from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 until the close of the Civil War, and aggressively invaded both its neighbors during this period.
The principal war aim was to conquer Canada and thereby remove British support for the Indians objecting to the seizure of their land west of the Appalachians, and to show how splendidly military the new nation could be.
The War of 1812, as it is known in the US, falls at the middle of the first century of the nation (1763-1860), but marks a divide much less significant than that of the Civil War, but nonetheless an important one.

 L. M. Frantseva
The purpose of the 1812 war was clear and understood: it was necessary to drive out the army of "a dozen languages", save the Russian land from destruction, and preserve the honor and independence of the mother country.
In conclusion, the ataman wrote that "the war is not a long one and depends on a universal and unanimous mass levy against the enemy invasion, and when this is repulsed, everyone will return to their homes with glory" (17).
To aid people ruined by the war, during the years 1813 and 1814 there were collected in the Don region 5076 assignat roubles, 32 silver roubles, and 11 silver valuables (71) (not counting about 100 thousand roubles donated for the same purpose to the Synod at the end of 1812) (72).

She carries on a war against the lawful commerce of a friend that she may the better carry on a commerce with an enemy—a commerce polluted by the forgeries and perjuries which are for the most part the only passports by which it can succeed....
The war-hounds that are howling for war through the continent are not to be the men who are to force entrenchments, and scale ramparts against the bayonet and the cannon's mouth; to perish in sickly camps, or in long marches through sultry heats or wastes of snow.
At war with the United States, and divested of supplies of lumber and provisions from Canada, their commerce would be totally ruined; and it is of far more importance to the British government than all their possessions in the East.

 THE RUSSIAN ARMY OF 1812
During the Napoleonic Wars the flintlock was used in firearms as the mechanism for igniting the charge in the barrel.
Even before 1812 it was the fashion for officers awarded gold or St.-Anne swords and sabers that holders of gold weapons inscribed "For courage" would wear on the left side of the coat small frames or bars with a miniature sword or saber, pushing underneath this a folded piece of St.-George ribbon (3).
After the Patriotic War of 1812 and the foreign campaign of 1813-1814, when individual officers could have several military awards, among which was a gold or St.-Anne sword, there came into fashion the wearing of unique miniature bars or frames with a representation of the awarded saber or sword.

 SparkNotes: The War of 1812 (1809-1815): New Orleans
In reality, as important as the War of 1812 seemed in the United States, on the world scale it was a mere shadow compared with the far vaster Napoleonic Wars.
Regardless, the war certainly meant a lot to the young American nation, which dubbed the War of 1812 the "Second War for American Independence." Many hyper-patriotic Americans went so far as to announce that the War of 1812 had announced the United States' role as a world power.
And while the War of 1812 was neither the military triumph Americans often painted, nor an announcement of global power, the American exaggeration of the war does stand testament to one of the war's effects: a dramatic increase in American nationalism.

 French invasion of Russia (1812) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its sustained role in Russian culture may be seen in Tolstoy's War and Peace and the Soviet identification between it and the German invasion of 1941-1945.
In Russia, Napoleon's invasion is also occasionally referred to as the "War of 1812", which can be confused with the 1812 conflict between the United Kingdom and the United States.
The indirect result of the patriotic movement of Russians was a strong desire for the modernisation of the country that would result in a series of revolutions, starting with the Decembrist revolt and ending with the February Revolution of 1917.

It did not begin with the German attack on Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, which was swiftly followed by the Soviet Union’s annexation of Eastern Poland (usually described in Soviet historiography as the re-unification of Eastern and Western Belarus) and the subsequent annexation of the Baltic States.
Although the name is a reference to the Patriotic War of 1812, when Russia repelled Napoleon, the later usage also includes the campaigns through Central and Eastern Europe, which is not the case with regard to Russia’s European campaign of 1813 and 1814, which ended with tsarist troups in Paris.

It also clearly differentiated between World War II and the Soviet part in it, not merely because the former had broken out earlier and without the participation of the USSR, but because it underlined the sudden, unwarranted fascist aggression against the peaceful and peace-loving Soviet people.
They inevitably had an influence on the attitude to the war (as in the different uses of statistics) and the image of the war hero (Stalin, the brilliant marshal, "The Heroic Soviet People," or just human beings allowed to be engaged in personal problems that could coexist with their Soviet ideology?).
In this way the opposition appropriated the memory of the Great Patriotic War, presented Yeltsin and his regime as foreign conquerors and the conflict as a continuation of the war for the Soviet Union's liberation.

 The end - summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Patriotic War of 1812, or the Russian Campaign of Napoleon as it was called on the West, occupies one of the most remarkable places in the century-old and reach of events Russian history.
The Patriotic War of 1812 had become the beginning of the end of Napoleon's Empire; Russia had become the place of the destruction of the Great Army.
Many events were contained in this heroic epoch: long and heavy retreat of the Russian armies in land, a bitterness of defeats of the first months of the campaign, the tragedy of the surrender of Moscow to the enemy, the triumph and the joy after enemy's proscription from the limits of Motherland.

 The War of 1812: Upper Canada
At the outset of war, Upper Canada consisted of a loose collection of villages scattered between Cornwall and Amherstburg.
Many Upper Canadian settlers were neutral at the beginning of the war, but as increasing numbers of their compatriots were killed in battle, forced from their homes, or had farms pillaged by American forces, local support for the British defenders increased.
Considering the foreign origins of most Upper Canadians in 1812, it is not surprising that there were some traitors in the crowd.
