So since we have this:
http://board.ttvpodcast.com/t/your-favorite-historical-figure/7701/34
I decided we probably needed this too.
So from wars to treaties what are your favorite historic events?
Mine would have to be the War of 1812
cause Canada 
The American revolution. Cause Muricaā!
Iām currently interested in both world wars, mainly the history of both war, certain tactics and weaponry used, etc.
In 1998, the greatest of historical events took place
I emerged from my motherās womb
O also a question for any Americans:
Iāve heard that in America the War of 1812 isnāt mentioned very often and when it is itās considered a tie. Is this true?
Thatās true. Probably because the war of 1812 didnāt really have any lasting influence on anything.
Well I mean Canada still existsā¦ Iād consider that lastingā¦
The day i was born
:s
Everbody lost, except the U. K. realized that they really couldnāt fold the U. S. A. back into the empire, and I think they stopped impressing sailors. Oh yeah, and an entire British army got wiped out after the treaty was signed or something.
It is true, I mean, they were too lazy to think up a name besides āThe War of 1812ā
My favorite historical event is the creation of Lego
Well I mean America tried to invade and they were stoppedā¦
By that logic wouldnāt every war be a tie because of casualties
I am actually starting to learn about this is class. There wasnāt really a winner. Britain and America both signed a peace treaty, ending the war.
Again
America tried to invade
Britain tried to defend
Seeing as Iām not American Iād say that Britain won
Us 'muricans learn that no one really won, but they teach it differently elsewhere.
Mine would be The 7 Years War.
Probably the ratification of the 13th and 19th amendments.
*Britain was kidnapping American soldiers and putting them on British Ships
*Americans Protested
*British attack Americans (in ships or in America itself, I dunno)
*Americans, in retaliation, attacked Canada
*British burned Washington D. C.
*Americans kill Native Americans
*Naval warfare everywhere
*Treaty signed
*British army destroyed in New Orleans
Seeing as we hear no more about Americans being kidnapped by British sailors Iād say America won, but it really was a draw.
Lets just agree to disagree 
Letās just agree that there were a certain set of historical facts that have been interpreted in many different ways, and that certain aspects are emphasized more in particular cultures, because somewhere deep within what we said is a net group of facts.
Yep here in Canada we focus on the fact we were attacked and āwonā
While in America (I assume) they focus on the fact they were attacked and attacked back and āwonā
Sadly when the finish line is blurred and both teams āwinā we forget truth because history is written by the victorsā¦
