Who fought against the United States in the War of 1812?

  1. French Empire

  2. Spanish Empire

  3. British Empire

  4. Russian Empire

The correct answer is: British Empire

The other options are incorrect because the French Empire was preoccupied by their own war in Europe, the Spanish Empire had already allied with the United States, and the Russian Empire was not involved in the War of 1812. The British Empire, on the other hand, was the primary opponent of the United States during this war, as tensions had been building between the two countries over issues such as trade and territorial disputes. Therefore, the British Empire is the correct answer.
