The first American attempts to invade the Ontario Peninsula could not occupy any territory as the British had done in the US, nor were US troops ever successful in building a fort anywhere in Canada.
British initiated land offensives in the US Northwest Territory with Indian allies, and the Americans looked elsewhere for British vulnerability. The Royal Navy cut off maritime trade and allowed the British to raid the Atlantic coast at will. The change of Prime Minister brought a concession to avoid conflict, but it was too late. Unlike successful French diplomacy earlier that ended the Quasi War, the British could not avoid a declaration of war at the War of 1812. Nevertheless, as the war dragged on without substantial American victory and a tightening British blockade, Federalists in New England convened a Hartford Convention to discuss their opposition to the War of 1812 in the United States as a minority party in a minority section. Though the votes were strictly along party lines, the Federalists were outvoted in every section of the country. The US Congress declared war with majorities in both its House and Senate as required in the Constitution of the United States. Starting in 1810 Britain urged and even armed Tecumseh's confederacy to wage war on the American settlements that had been reaffirmed as US sovereign territory in the 1794 Jay's Treaty. The British aided indigenous tribes of the Old Northwest to slow US citizen settlement on land ceded by the British to the US in the Anglo-American 1783 Treaty of Paris, and ceded by Indian tribes recognized by the British and Americans in the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, and in the 1803-04 Treaty of Vincennes. Meanwhile, the British were outraged by the 1811 Little Belt affair. Primary causes of the War of 1812 involved the Royal Navy stopping and seizing American ships on the open sea and impressing men as British subjects, including those with American citizenship certificates. They all included reference to the economic and trade disputes between the United States, United Kingdom, and France that first led to the Franco-American Quasi-War, and then to the Anglo-American War of 1812. The controversies that led to war centred on US national honour. The Treaty of Ghent was signed by both American and British diplomats and also ratified by the British government in December 1814, but according to the terms of the treaty, peace did not take effect until the United States government also ratified it, which happened almost two months later on 17 February 1815. The conflict formally began when the United States declared war on 18 June 1812, and officially ended with the Treaty of Ghent, which was signed on 24 December 1814. The War of 1812 (18 June 1812 – 17 February 1815) was a conflict fought between the United States and its indigenous allies on one side, and the United Kingdom, its dependent colonies in North America, indigenous allies, and Spain on the other.

The HRVWCC also brings together other DHS components and federal partners, to include the FBI and the Department of Justice, who work collaboratively alongside HSI to pursue human rights violators and war crimes investigations and prosecutions. Initiated by HSI in 2008, the HRVWCC leverages the knowledge and expertise of a select group of special agents, attorneys, intelligence analysts, criminal research specialists and historians who are charged with preventing the United States from becoming a safe haven for individuals who engage in the commission of war crimes, genocide, torture and other forms of serious human rights abuses from conflicts around the globe. The Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center (HRVWCC) is the only government entity focused completely on investigating global atrocities and the perpetrators of human rights violations and war crimes.
