1812 was an English invasion of America. They actually took Washington DC until a tornado ripped through the city the day after it's fall. Must have spooked the Brits, they left immediately.

It should be said, though, that the "English invasion of America" came only after a US invasion of Canada was decisively defeated by British troops and about three times as many natives and Canadian militia.
