During the War of 1812, the US attempted to seize Canada in order to put pressure on the UK over the latter impounding American ships that might be outfitted for Napoleon.

It was an utter calamity, the British commanders in Canada were some of the UK’s best (including Isaac Brock who is second only perhaps to the Duke Of Wellington). American forces got smashed.
