Explanation:

The conflict fought between the United States and Great Britain. The reason for the war was America's desire to expand its territory in the Northwest and to stop the British restrictions on American trade. The British also put restrictions on U.S. maritime rights by not allowing them to trade with European countries. The capture of American seamen (impressment) by the British Royal Navy during the 1800s angered Americans. In the late 18th century, impressment grew because of the eruption of war between Britain and France began where there was a requirement for seamen in Navy.
