A Master’s Thesis at the College of Education for Humanities Discusses “The American–British War and Its Impact on the American Economy (1812–1814)”

The College of Education for Humanities, Department of History, held today, Wednesday (26 November 2025), the defense session for the master’s thesis submitted by the student Raed Hameed Khalaf Al-Dulaimi, entitled:
“The American–British War and Its Impact on the American Economy (1812–1814).”

The present thesis aims to examine the history of the United States of America, which has been marked by significant developments and events across the political, economic, and social spheres. These events profoundly influenced not only the United States but also the global scene, leaving a lasting impact on the course of international history. This has encouraged many scholars to delve into American history, and this study sheds light on an important phase in the country’s military past.

The American–British War (1812–1814), often described by Americans as the “Second War of Independence,” represented a critical turning point in shaping the American economy. The war erupted due to several factors, most notably British interference in American sovereignty, including the seizure of American merchant ships by British forces, the forced conscription of American sailors into the British Royal Navy, and the restrictions imposed on maritime trade with Europe.

The examination committee consisted of:

  1. Prof. Ghufar Jabbar Jasim – University of Tikrit, College of Education for Humanities – Chair
