I guess the War of 1812 counts, if no one has said that yet.

Wasn't Britain still largely controlled more than the monarchy than any democratic leaders then?

No, Britain can be claimed as a genuine demcoracy since 1689 with the Glorious Revolution which signified the move to a Constitutional Monarchy. The King still had a place in policy making, but certainly needed a Parliamentary mandate to do things.
