The War of 1812

The war of 1812 was the last war fought between America and Britian, the conflict envoloped Americans, Britians, canadian colonists, and Indians. The war was fought around the same time Napoleon invaded Russia and lasted from 1812 to 1814 killing thousands of solders, civilians, and untold destruction of property and damaging relations between America, Britain and canada to this very day.

In the years to come, the War of 1812 would be celebrated in some places and essentially forgotten in others.

Some of its battles and heroes became legendary, yet its blunders and cowards were just as prominent.

South Sudan's president, Salva Kiir, accused his former vice president, Riek Machar, of attempting a coup d'état amid accusations of rampant corruption within the government. Infighting immediately broke out within the presidential guard, sparking what has now become a brutal tribal and civil war that has pitted Machar's ethnic Nuer loyalists against the majority Dinka, who have sided with Kiir. Machar narrowly escaped assassination, fleeing to the deep bush as Kiir's troops razed his home and killed his bodyguards. And now the world's newest sovereign nation is in imminent danger of becoming a failed state.
