Question: Which war saw Canadians defend against American invasion in 1812-14?

Answer options:

  • Seven Years' War ✅ War of 1812
  • American Civil War

Correct answer: War of 1812

Explanation: The War of 1812 is the correct answer because it was fought between 1812 and 1814 when British, Canadian, and Indigenous forces successfully repelled an American invasion of British North America.
