Can an American explain something to me
why is a war only a "war" when the Americans feel like they won it?
case in point
The War of 1812.
Your history books refer to it as a "conflict" etc...
it's crazy
You lost
we (well okay the British..soon to become "we") won.
end of!
series of pages on the time period and the war itself

My view is that the US lost and Britain won. Although I do see that the widely held view that it was a draw has some logic to it. The status quo ante bellum Treaty of Ghent would support this view.
