The Sepoy revolt against the British in 1857 occurred because of the number of aggressive policies that were being forced upon colonial Indians. The vast territorial expansions and military strategies of the British were causing gross insensitivity toward religious norms.
One of the most stark contrasts between the British army and the colonial militia was the form of fighting. While most nations at the time prefered to fight battles in a "gentleman" like manner where the two opposing forces would line up against each other, the colonial militia prefered to fight under the cover of the forest and were notorious for their ambushes against British supply lines.
The loyalists remained loyal to the British throughout the American Revolution.
The war of 1812 in North America was fought between the United States and the British Empire. Actually Great Britain's forces played only a minor roll in the conflict as most of their military effort at that time was in Europe fighting against Napoleon. The British forces arrayed against the United States were mostly local colonial forces in Canada and the Caribbean supported by small British army and navy garrison units.
