Battle of Lundys Lane War of 1812


JULY 25, 1814

The War of 1812 had raged for two long years. The invading and defending forces were about to clash on yet another Niagara battlefield...

The Battle of Lundy's Lane, the bloodiest ever fought on Canadian soil, is one of the most important events in the history of Canada.  Here, the American invasion was finally brought to a halt.

In a vicious six hour fight in the heat and darkness, the two armies fought to a standstill.  The U.S. forces retreated the next day to Fort Erie, and the War of 1812 petered to a close.  The young nation to the south and the loyal British colony remained separate, to develop into the societies known today as the United States and Canada.
