@@zebulaun Winning a battle at the end of the war doesn't mean you won the war, Germany's won a final battlefield victory in 1945 against the rebuilt Polish Army under Soviet leadership, Poland is still a country and it's pretty clear that the Germans lost seeing as their territory is a fair bit smaller these days. The Waf of 1812 was the local Canadian TA holding off the US Regulars to a stalemate until the British Regulars could arrive and somehow that gets championed as some kind of win. Result was "status quo ante bellum" but the US didn't mess with Canada properly again for another 50 years. Oh and this song is Irish, that's why it's so catchy.

@@KolibriMert the war of 1812 ended before the results of the battle of New Orleans. One of the major reasons why US was put into a stalemate at the end of that war was because it wasn’t centralized enough, but it wasn’t exactly like we lost we didn’t really lose that war because losing would’ve been losing all the territory that we had took nothing away from us because they knew if they tried to annex us. It would’ve just ended and more trouble for them doesn’t change the fact that the British were in the wrong with imprisoning American sailors it also doesn’t change the fact that the Americans gave the British one of the worst losses, the British empire ever ever had up until that point with the American Revolution, the British were utterly humiliated by the Americans and if anything the war of 1812 only made the Americans stronger with the nationalism that came after so in the long term America won even in the short term America won
