In 1814, the British invaded Washington, D.C., during the War of 1812. They captured and burned several key buildings, including the White House and the Capitol, in retaliation for the American burning of York (now Toronto) in 1813. This invasion marked a significant moment in the conflict, highlighting the vulnerability of the young American capital. The attack also galvanized American sentiment and resistance against British forces.
