1689 AD French And Indian Wars- Won British forces crushed the French defense in Canada and took over Montreal

Wolfe defeated Montcalm , 1759 at Quebec .You're a little early.

1812 AD War of 1812- Lost, British again defeated by their own colonists.

If this is the War of 1812-14, Won, English resisted annexation of Canada . Yeah, I know . The US won the Battle of New Orleans, but the war was over. The Treaty of Ghent preserving the status quo. And England, having defeated and exiled Napoleon, now had a surplus of sailors. It's available on line, An 1811 editorial ( if I remember correctly ) in a New England paper stating the fact that of the previous years US $45 million export trade , $37 million was with England. And asks why on earth declare war to invade Canada ? The US did, not knowing England had already rescinded the offensive Orders in Council

RE: War of 1812 See my post #22 Beat you too it but you were far more informative. You wouldn't happen to know the stats on the battle of New Orleans would you? I just remember they were terribly one sided.
