During the War of 1812, British leaders conducted several notable attacks against American forces, including the burning of Washington, D.C., in August 1814, where they set fire to the Capitol and the White House. They also launched a significant assault on Baltimore, which was famously defended at Fort McHenry, inspiring the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Additionally, the British attempted to regain control of the Great Lakes and conducted raids along the American coastline. These military actions aimed to weaken American resistance and reassert British influence in North America.
