INTERVIEW BEGINS AT 17:10

In America's history of warfare one conflict that slips thru the cracks of history was The War of 1812. A conflict that pitted The United States against their old foe England, but also The Great White North, yes Canada and the U.S in bloody conflict. History also tells us how Native North American Tribes were split and fighting on opposite sides. What caused this conflict, what happened, why did it end without a real resolution and why does history all but forget this important chapter in the forming of not only The United States, but also Canada?

Retired Major Tanya Grodzinski PhD enlisted inthe Canadian Forces in the early 1980's where she has held several appointments with her regiment, Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians). She was all over Canada holding various staff positions in Winnipeg, Halifax and Kingston, working mainly in coordinating military assistance to other government departments and in doctrinal development as well as being Managing Editor of The Army Doctrine and Training Bulletin (now the Canadian Army Journal) for six years. Then, as if dedicated service to her country wasn't enough, she continued on with her education. In 2002, Major Grodzinski completed a Masters of Arts in War Studies at RMC and her thesis on the War of 1812 on the Upper St Lawrence River was nominated for the Governor General's Gold Medal for Academic Excellence. In 2010, Major Grodzinski completed a doctorate in the RMC War Studies programme
