(1 point) british embargoes on american goods westward expansion of british canada british impressment of u s soldiers u s sympathy for the french revolution british support for native american resistance

Explanation:

The War of 1812 was influenced by British impressment of U.S. sailors (forcibly taking them into British naval service) and British support for Native - American resistance which hindered American westward expansion. British embargoes on American goods were not a main factor. The westward expansion of British Canada was not a direct cause. U.S. sympathy for the French Revolution was not relevant to the 1812 war decision.

Answer:

• British impressment of U.S. soldiers
• British support for Native American resistance
