Question

What affect did the end of the British war with France have on the war of 1812?

Answer 1

During the wars between Britain and France in the 18th century and early 19th century the British blocked trade to France to decrease their resource during the war.  This directly affected the US trade with France which the US said was illegal which spark tensions that eventually lead to the War of 1812.  As the British continued their war with France in Europe the demand for resources and taxes during wartime was too great and they had to reopen trade with the US. They were then able to strength their blockade against the US and almost suffocated the US economy bringing it to near bankruptcy.  After tensions eased on the two sides and negotiations for peace began between the British and Americans
