The most famous overture is the 1812 overture, celebrating the defeat of Napoleon. Tschaikovsky also wrote other overtures, most notable the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, also the Manfred Overture. There are probable others which I cannot think of at the moment, but these are less famous and less interesting. My favorite i the Romeo and Juliet Overture. note:The Manfred Overture was by Robert Schumann. Tchaikovsky wrote a four-movement program symphony titled Manfred.

Because the overture celebrates the Battle of Borodino in 1812, in which Russia defeated Napoleon and the French.
It was written by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, to commemorate the Battle of Borodino, which was the Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812.
Tchaikovsky was Russian and he wrote it in Russia to celebrate a Russian military victory, so the answer is clear.
Tchaikovsky. The piece was written about the Russian victory over Napoleon; it was NOT about the British-American War of 1812.
