Rev War II didn't really catch on because it doesn't make much sense, Britain wasn't trying to reconquer the States. I haven't come across any reference of what the Canadians might have called it. |

For the British, it was an American Theater of the Napoleonic wars, the latter contemporarily known as the "War of Empires." In hindsight, countries tend to be nationalistic regarding their own struggles, thus name things accordingly. William. |

The Canadians to this day feel it was an attempt by the US to conquer Canada. |
