Some of the important government buildings in Washington , DC were destroyed by a surprise attack of the British in August, 1814.
The city of Washington, D.C., was captured and burned by British forces during the War of 1812 on August 24, 1814. Following their victory at the Battle of Bladensburg, British troops marched into the capital largely unopposed. They set fire to several key government buildings, including the Capitol and the White House, in retaliation for the American burning of York (now Toronto) earlier in the war. The destruction was a significant blow to American morale and highlighted the vulnerability of the young nation.
