Is it true that the Napoleonic Wars were a major cause of the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain?
Unclear. Several sources partially support the claim: a peer-reviewed chapter says the Napoleonic Wars exacerbated tensions that led to the War of 1812, and other references describe the war as tied to or overshadowed by the Napoleonic Wars. None of the placed items fully settles that the Napoleonic Wars were a major cause.
