It is very good to say that the war of 1812 was an aggressive war, because that is exactly what it was. This was a war that was mainly fought between the British and the Americans. It was a war that started off with British ships being blocked from entering and selling certain goods in America. This, of course, angered the British. America had long been a colony of theirs and the were still angry from having lost that colony. They were even more angry as they believed they should have special privileges in their relationship with America.
When they discovered these issues they declared war and many merchants ships from both sides were attacked. The navys played the most important role of this war, as that is where most of the fighting took place. Many ships were destroyed and a lot of cargo was lost. Many people were killed as well, so this war had a lot of aggression. There was even a British invasion all the way till Washington D.C.. They even managed to burn part of the capital city down, that is how angry and violent they had become. While America did win with help and they managed to rebuild, this war will never be forgotten.
