What was the War of 1812?

1. A civil war in Canada

2. A battle between Canada and the United States

3. A conflict in Europe

4. A skirmish between Native American tribes

The correct answer is: A battle between Canada and the United States

The War of 1812 was a military conflict between the United States and Great Britain, with involvement from Native American tribes and the British colonies in North America (including Canada). This makes options A, C, and D incorrect as they do not accurately describe the scope of the War of 1812. Additionally, the conflict was not a civil war as stated in option A, as it involved two separate countries. The War of 1812 was also not solely a battle between Canada and the United States as stated in option B, although Canada was a major part of the conflict. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and complete answer.
