Description: The 1814 War, often referred to as the War of 1812, was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815. Key battles occurred in various locations, including the burning of Washington, D.C., in August 1814, where British forces set fire to the Capitol and the White House. The war stemmed from issues like maritime rights and trade restrictions, leading to significant national developments. Notably, the Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814, effectively ended hostilities, restoring pre-war boundaries. The cultural impact included the creation of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which was inspired by the defense of Fort McHenry during this conflict.
