They call it the Battle of Britain. The Brits were prepared for months.
The British attack on Washington, D.C., in 1814 resulted in the burning of several significant buildings, including the White House and the Capitol, during the War of 1812. This event was a humiliating setback for the United States and demonstrated its vulnerability. However, the British did not occupy the city for long, as they shifted their focus to Baltimore, where they faced stronger resistance. The attack ultimately galvanized American patriotism and resolve in the war.

On May 20, 1915, the German submarine U-20 torpedoed the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania.
