Region: Niagara-on-the-Lake
An intense and critically important three-year war fought between the United States of America and the United Kingdom, its colonies and North American Native Indian allies.
It resulted in victory for the British and Canadian militia in Lower and Upper Canada, and allowed what is now the Canada of today to keep its territory intact.
If the struggle had been lost, Canada might not exist as it does today. The historic sites in the Niagara region remain major historical sites, including Fort George, Brock’s Monument, and many others.
