What was the primary reason for the United States launching an invasion in June 1812?

To conquer Canada
To fight Napoleon
To gain independence
To establish a new government

The correct answer is: To conquer Canada

The primary reason for the United States launching an invasion in June 1812 was to conquer Canada. This was due to tensions between the two countries over trade restrictions, British military presence in North America, and the United States' desire to expand its territory. The other options (B, C, D) all suggest potential reasons for the United States' actions, but they are not the primary reason for the invasion. Fighting Napoleon and gaining independence were important factors in the overall political climate at the time, but they were not the main driving force for the invasion. Establishing a new government was already achieved through the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Therefore, option A is the most accurate and relevant answer.
