Answer 1

A. Britain was helping native americans fight US settlers by giving them weapons.

B. Britain was engaging in impressment against American soldiers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Anglo-American War of 1812, also known as the Anglo-American War or the War of 1812 was a conflict that pitted the United States against the United Kingdom and its Canadian colonies that developed between 1812 and 1815. Clashes were fought over land and by sea.

At a time when the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland had to endure a great war effort to confront Napoleonic France, on June 18, 1812 the United States declared war on it in order to invade the Canadian territories. belonging to the British Empire. These had been populated for forty years by English speakers and maintained numerous cultural and commercial relations with the United States.

Among other causes of the war are the restrictions on trade imposed by the United Kingdom because of the war it maintained in Europe against France, the forced recruitment of US merchant sailors to serve in the Royal British Navy and British support for indigenous peoples of North America that opposed the expansion of the United States.

Answer 2

The right answers are A and B. On the one hand, various Native American nations in the Northwest wanted to stop American expansionism towards that area, and the British, who wanted to protect their Canadian colonies, provided them with weapons so they could fight the Americans. On the other hand, Britain was indeed engaging in impressment against American soldiers when it could not staff its ships with volunteers and privateers. Some of those American soldiers had been born in Britain (they were in fact British deserters) but others had not.
