1. War of 1812 (Against the United Kingdom)
On June 18, 1812, the United States declared war on Great Britain, citing British trade restrictions, the impressment of American sailors, and support for Native American resistance on the frontier. These factors led to a conflict that ended inconclusively, with neither side achieving significant territorial gains. The Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814, restored pre-war boundaries without addressing the initial grievances. For the official declaration document, refer to the Library of Congress’s resource: (loc.gov).
