Explanation: When Americans are asked about wars that the United States fought in during the 1800s, they often think of the Civil War.
解释:当美国人被问及美国在19世纪进行的战争时,他们常常会想到美国内战。
The Civil War was the war in which Americans fought each other, with northern states fighting against southern states.
美国内战是美国人之间进行的一场战争,北方各州同南方各州交战。
But there were three other important wars in the 1800s.
而在19世纪,还有另外三场重要的战争。
These were the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Spanish-American War.
它们分别是1812年战争、美墨战争和美西战争。
The War of 1812 is often called the forgotten war because few people remember it well or know very much about it.
1812年战争常被称为遗忘的战争,因为很少有人能记得很清楚或者对它很了解。
The War of 1812 lasted (or continued) from 1812 to 1815 while the United States fought against Great Britain, Ireland, and its colonies (or areas of land belonging to those countries) in what is now Canada.
1812年战争由1812年持续(或延续)到1815年,当时的美国在现今的加拿大与英国、爱尔兰及其殖民地(或属于这些国家的土地)打仗。
One of the causes of the war (or one of the reasons why the war happened) was that Americans were upset (or angry) about Great Britain's way of trading (or buying and selling things internationally).
战争的起因之一(或发生战争的原因之一)是美国人对英国的贸易方式(或在国际上买卖商品)感到气愤(或愤怒)。
