1812年战争(美加战争),是第二次美英战争的一部分。独立不久的美国为了领土扩张,乘英国正陷于拿破仑战争之机发动对加拿大的战争。最终,加拿大民兵、原住民武装和英军组成的联合军队打退了美国的入侵。这次战争对推动加拿大国家形成起了巨大作用,成为加拿大国家认同的开端。1812年战争两百周年为安大略省档案馆(Archives of Ontario,AO)提供了一个绝佳机会来研究基于互联网的纪念活动,以及如何利用社交媒体寻找新的受众。2012年3月,安大略省档案
The war of 1812 (the war between North and South America) was part of the second U.S.-British war. In the immediate aftermath of the U.S. territorial expansion, Britain is caught up in the Napoleonic war to launch a war on Canada. Eventually, a coalition of Canadian militias, indigenous fighters and British forces repulsed the U.S. invasion. This war played a significant role in promoting the formation of the Canadian nation and became the beginning of Canadian national identity. The bicentennial of the 1812 War provided an excellent opportunity for the Archives of Ontario (AO) to study Internet-based celebrations and how to use social media to find new audiences.
