Hogan's History- War 1812
The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain from 1812-1815. Tensions arose due to British interference with American shipping and impressment of American sailors. While the United States failed to conquer Canada as planned, American forces had some naval victories. The British burned Washington D.C. in 1814 but were repulsed from Baltimore after witnessing the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry, inspiring the national anthem. The war ended in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent and a new sense of national identity and unity in America.

The American Revolutionary War began in 1775 with several key events that led to the colonists declaring independence from Britain. The causes of the war included Britain imposing taxes on the colonies to pay off war debts without colonial representation. Major battles included Bunker Hill, Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown. With support from France after the Battle of Saratoga, the Americans were able to turn the tide of the war.

Chapter 6.4. And 6.5 Ppt
King George III responded to colonial appeals by having British forces attack colonial settlements. The document provides a timeline of key events in the American Revolutionary War, including the Declaration of Independence in 1776, battles such as Trenton and Saratoga, and notes that some states abolished slavery while Native American tribes aided the British by attacking colonial settlements.
War of 1812
The War of 1812 was caused by several factors, including British and French seizure of American cargo and ships, the British practice of impressment which led to the Chesapeake Incident, and territorial disputes over lands in North America. The war resulted in unsuccessful American invasions of Canada but ended with the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. While the borders changed little, the war established frontier myths for America and began Andrew Jackson's rise to the presidency following his victory at the Battle of New Orleans.

It provides brief descriptions of the objectives, key events, and outcomes of each battle, noting things like naval bombardments, seaborne landings against opposition, heavy casualties sustained, and the Marines' role in targeting enemy officers.

Yayy!!
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the early stages of the American Civil War. It describes how Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter, prompting Lincoln to call for troops from loyal states. Both sides expected a short war but were unprepared for the scale of violence at Bull Run. The Union had early successes in the West under Grant and Farragut. New technologies like ironclads revolutionized warfare, increasing casualties, while political issues challenged both sides as the war continued.
1812 war
The War of 1812 began as a result of tensions between the United States and Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. The British imposed trade sanctions and attacked American ships, leading President Jefferson to enact the Embargo Act of 1807, which banned trade with Britain and hurt the American economy. This contributed to a change in leadership and the eventual declaration of war under President Madison in 1812. The war involved several American attempts to invade Canada by land and sea that were ultimately unsuccessful, as well as naval battles where the more powerful British fleet defeated American ships. The war ended in 1814 with the Treaty of Ghent, which resolved few of the original tensions and restored the pre-war borders between the US and Britain.
Iwo Jima
The Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945 was a major battle between American and Japanese forces during World War II. The Americans sought to capture the island of Iwo Jima to position bombers closer to Japan. Over 100,000 American Marines invaded the island and faced fierce resistance from the entrenched Japanese forces led by General Kuribayashi, who had prepared an extensive network of fortified tunnels and artillery. After a costly month-long battle, the Americans were eventually victorious and raised the American flag over the island, securing it for use as a strategic airbase for bombing raids on Japan. Casualties were extremely high, with over 6,000 American and 20,000 Japanese deaths.
Notes: The Spanish-American War
The document discusses how the United States sought to build an empire in the late 19th century following the completion of Manifest Destiny and the closing of the western frontier. It explores how American policymakers were influenced by Alfred Mahan's work on sea power and Britain's naval empire. The U.S. annexed Hawaii in 1893 and divided control over Samoa with Germany in 1899 to establish overseas bases. The Spanish-American War in 1898 provided an opportunity to take Spanish colonies like Cuba and the Philippines, helping the U.S. become a world power with possessions across the Pacific.
Invasion of Fort York April 27th, 1813
The document summarizes the invasion of York (present-day Toronto) during the War of 1812. It describes how on April 27, 1813, American forces of 2,500 men with 14 ships sailed into York and engaged 300 British regulars, 300 militia and 100 Native fighters. The brief battle resulted in 157 British and 320 American casualties. The Americans looted homes and businesses during their five-day occupation before retreating on May 2nd. The invasion had impacts on both American and Canadian forces and societies and helped forge early Canadian identity.
