The Battle of Fort McHenry took place from September 13 to 14, 1814, during the War of 1812, when British forces attempted to capture the fort in Baltimore, Maryland. The successful defense of Fort McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," which later became the national anthem of the United States. The battle marked a significant turning point in the war, boosting American morale and demonstrating the resilience of the U.S. military. Ultimately, the British withdrew, and the fort’s defense solidified its status as a symbol of American patriotism.
