Prologue: A Crucible of Conflict

As the American Revolution raged across the Atlantic, its flames ignited tensions on the northern frontier of British North America. Canada, a vast expanse of wilderness and fledgling settlements, became a focal point in the escalating conflict between the British Empire and its rebellious colonists.

Chapter 1: The Invasion of 1812

In 1812, war erupted between the United States and Great Britain. The Americans, eager to expand their territory northward, launched a series of invasions into Canada. The British, determined to defend their colonial possessions, mustered a formidable force led by General Isaac Brock.

Chapter 2: The Siege of Fort York

One of the most pivotal battles of the War of 1812 was the Siege of Fort York in April 1813. The Americans, under the command of General Henry Dearborn, launched an amphibious assault on the British-held fort. The British, despite being outnumbered, put up a fierce resistance. The battle ended with an American victory, but the British managed to escape with their colors flying.

Chapter 3: The Burning of Washington, D.C.

In August 1814, they marched into Washington, D.C., and set fire to numerous government buildings, including the White House.
