More lives lost than any other American war, including WWII, the Vietnam war, the Korean War, Iraq/Afghanistan, and of course, 1812, when the British set fire to the White House! The latter isn't even mentioned in most histories, at least not accurately.

We in Canada and Europe refer to Napoleon's siege of Moscow as the War of 1812.The Russians retreated and burned their villages, livestock, and gardens behind them, leaving nothing for Napoleon and his soldiers to live on during the harsh winter that followed.
Very smart and risky, winner takes all. It's said the brutal Russian winter defeated Napoleon.
