Americans – American Officers, War of 1812 - Box-Art 54mm

One-of-a-kind collector’s piece, assembled and painted on a wooden base.

The Anglo-American War (also known as the War of 1812, after the year in which it began) was a conflict fought between the United Kingdom and the United States of America from June 1812 to February 1815. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814, which effectively came into force on February 17, 1815.

The United States thus found itself facing the world’s greatest naval power in a conflict that would have an immense impact on the future of the young nation. Initially, the United States suffered numerous costly defeats, both at the hands of regular British troops and Canadian militias supported by Native American tribes allied with the British Crown. One of the most emblematic events was the capture and burning of Washington, the newly established capital of the nation.

However, American troops were able to repel British invasions at New York, Baltimore, and New Orleans, strengthening confidence in final victory and fostering a renewed spirit of patriotism throughout the nation. To this day, many Americans regard the War of 1812 as the “Second War of Independence.”
